Did you know that one in six of the engineers we support at Foothold is funded by a gift in a will? Of course, there’s no obligation to remember us in your will. But once the ones you care about have been provided for, we’d really appreciate it if you would support our life-changing work by pledging a gift to us.

Gifts of all sizes can help make a big difference for engineers who are struggling to get by, and we really value the support that community members pledge to us in their wills – community members like Peter, IET member and Foothold supporter.

“I have always valued the important work that Foothold do for our engineers like me. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit in early 2020, I felt very strongly about the additional efforts that Foothold would need to make to provide support for our community – in remote as well as in-person interactions. It was for this reason that my wife and I decided to leave a modest legacy to Foothold in our mirrored Wills.”

- Peter, engineer and IET Fellow Member

By using your Will to show your support for fellow engineers and their families, you could help us change thousands of lives across our community for the better.

“Senior engineers like me are used to making decisions, giving help, or solving problems. So, to put my hand up and say, “I need help” was very hard. But the support I received meant I could pay my mortgage, put food on the table and ultimately meant I didn’t lose my home.”

    - Paul, engineer and IET Fellow
