Since 1843, the Rainy Day Trust have been helping those in need who have worked in the home improvement industry. We are there for when times get tough and people just need that bit of extra support. Together, we can help to make sure that no-one is left behind; ensuring that people don’t lose their dignity, as well as their income.
We want to help as many people who are struggling as possible. As well as providing financial help, we also give free legal advice, have an online welfare benefits checker and run a telephone counselling service, to provide a way for anyone suffering with stress or anxiety to seek re-assurance or who may just want to hear a friendly voice.
Leaving a gift to the Rainy Day Trust in your Will enables us to continue to carry out our vital work across the UK. Whether it be due to redundancy, an accident, illness or bereavement, we are on hand to help in whatever way we can. With your gift, we can keep providing support and vital financial assistance to make a difference to somebody’s life.
There are a number of different ways to leave a gift to the Rainy Day Trust in your Will. Legacies are one of the simplest and most effective ways of supporting us and the work that we do in supporting people in need, as sometimes, not everything in life goes to plan.
