Leave A Gift In Your Will

Why it matters

For over 40 years, Maggs has been here for people facing homelessness and severe disadvantage across Worcestershire.

Every day, people walk through our doors in crisis — needing warmth, safety, and someone who will listen.

A gift in your Will helps us to:

  • Keep our doors open
  • Be there in times of crisis
  • Support people to rebuild their lives
  • Plan for the future with confidence

It’s a way of supporting your local community, long into the future.

Leave A Gift In Your Will

Maggs exists because of one man’s story.

John Cecil Maggs never knew the legacy his life would leave behind — but today, his name represents compassion, action, and change.

John experienced homelessness on the streets of Worcester in the 1970s and early 1980s. He faced isolation, hardship, and a lack of support that no one should have to endure.

When he died in 1984, it became a turning point. His story brought people together and sparked a determination across the community to ensure that others would not be left without help.

That determination became Maggs.

Today, we provide the kind of support that was not available to John — but the need has not gone away.

By leaving a gift in your Will, you become part of that legacy — helping to ensure that no one is left without support, dignity, or hope.

WHAT YOUR LEGACY COULD DO?

Your gift could help ensure that:

  • Someone has a warm meal and a safe place to come
  • A person facing homelessness can access support and begin to rebuild their life
  • Future services continue to grow across Worcestershire

These are the moments that change lives — and your legacy can make them possible.

WHAT YOUR LEGACY COULD DO

Your gift could do something extraordinary.

It could help us open the door to a new home — purchasing a property that gives someone not just a roof over their head, but stability, safety, and a chance to rebuild their life.

It could help us reduce or clear the cost of existing accommodation — freeing up vital funds so we can support more people, for longer.

It could strengthen the services people rely on every day — from hot meals and practical support, to outreach and recovery pathways across Worcestershire.

But most importantly, it could change what happens next for someone at their lowest point.

Because behind every service, every space, and every conversation is a person who needs somewhere to turn.

Your legacy could help ensure that place always exists.
