Download our Legacy Guide

Legacy giving can be confusing - knowing what to leave to whom and how. So we created a simple-to-use guide that will help you navigate the process. You can view or download the guide below.

Create a legacy of stories

A love of reading can stay with us throughout our lives. Stories entertain us, introduce us to new ideas and connect us with a world beyond our own experiences.

Calibre Audio provides accessible audiobooks and a thoughtful, personal service for people living with a print disability. By remembering Calibre Audio in your Will, you can ensure that future generations continue to enjoy the choice, independence and companionship that reading can bring.

Your family and friends will naturally come first. Once you have provided for the people closest to you, even a small gift to Calibre Audio can create a lasting impact.

Legacy gifts are vital to our future

Around 40% of Calibre Audio’s voluntary income comes from gifts left in Wills. These gifts give us the confidence to plan ahead, respond to changing needs and keep accessible audiobooks available for future generations.

Will writing made easy with Squiggle Consult

A white-haired woman in an orange jumper is sat at a laptop, pen in hand. The word 'squiggle' is in green letters.Writing a Will can feel like a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be.

Many people assume it's expensive, time-consuming or filled with complicated legal language, so it often gets put off.

That's why Calibre Audio has partnered with Will specialists Squiggle Consult to make the process straightforward and accessible.

Instead of paying the typical £295 for a simple Will with an Estate Planning Consultant, supporters of Calibre Audio can have their simple Will prepared completely free of charge as part of this exclusive partnership.

Book your free consultation

Your free estate planning consultation is a relaxed, no-obligation conversation with one of Squiggle's experienced consultants, available either online or face-to-face.

During the meeting, you’ll talk through your personal and family circumstances, what you own, who you would like to benefit from your estate, who you would trust to carry out your wishes, and any particular wishes or concerns you may have.

You’ll also discuss important areas such as guardians for children, protecting your family and assets and planning for what would happen if you were no longer able to make decisions for yourself. Squiggle allows up to two hours for each appointment, giving plenty of time to understand you, answer all of your questions, cover important considerations and explain your options without jargon.

And remember, having a Will isn’t just for people with lots of money or complicated estates. Whether you own your home or rent, have significant savings or very little, a Will helps make sure your wishes are known and the people and causes you care about are looked after. As a Calibre Audio member, your Basic Will is completely free, and there’s no pressure or obligation to purchase anything else. The consultation is simply an opportunity to understand your options and make the choices that are right for you.
