Project Summary
The Brief
The ultimate aim of a free will offer is to get supporters to leave a gift in their will to charity. Using the legacy proposition as a hook makes sure that the charity is front and center from the very start.

A free online will writing service.
Guardian Angel is a tech for good company created to make the experience of losing someone easier. It was founded after our founder Sam lost his Mum suddenly in 2016. He experienced first-hand the chaos caused by the absence of a plan when someone dies. It made one of the toughest times in his life even tougher than it needed to be. Guardian Angel was created to make the experience of loss that little bit easier for those left behind.
One of the ways we do this is through our proactive planning tools, including our online will.
One of the ways we distribute our online wills is via our 200+ charity partners. Gifts in wills make up a significant portion of charities income and our online tool help charities offer a clear call to action in the form of a free will writing service.
In Sep & Oct, 2023 weʼre running a campaign for our charity partners to help them promote legacy giving via gift in wills. We will be testing paid social ads across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok to encourage our charities potential supporters to leave a gift in their will using our online will writing service.
Which is:
- All online (sort-from-the-sofa-friendly)
- Can be completed in ~15 minutes
- Each will is reviewed by legal experts
- Legally binding when printed and signed with a witness
Scene #1
Although the wording needs to be specific the way you talk about it should feel upbeat, engaging and heartfelt. Feel free to add in an additional section on why that the work they do is important to you personally (we may have to edit this out if the charity isn’t happy but this personal touch will really bring it to life!).
Script #1:
Have you heard of Crohn's & Colitis UK? They're fighting to make a vision of a world free from these lifelong conditions possible. Gifts in Wills left to Crohn's & Colitis UK are a legacy of hope for a freer, fuller life for each person affected by Crohn’s and Colitis.
Inspiring right?
Scene #2
Relate to the audience. Look at the camera. Tone: should be relatable, acknowledging that life isn’t the easiest at the moment in a cost of living crisis.
Script #2
I don’t know about you, but it’s been a bit of a struggle to support the charities I love in the way that I used to.
But I’ve found a new way to support Crohn's & Colitis UK without costing me a penny today…
This autumn they're are running an offer so that you can write your will for free online. There’s an option to include a gift to Crohn's & Colitis UK.
Scene #3
Walk through the process. Tone: Informative, and relatable. You should sound surprised about how easy it was.
Script #3
It’s not actually as hard as you think, especially with this Autumn free will offer. It helped me tick off something that I’d been putting off for ages. And it allowed me to support a cause I care about.

ACCESSIBLE VS ANXIETY-INDUCING: We don’t use over-complicated technical jargon. We make conversations around death accessible, not anxiety-inducing or confusing.
STORYTELLING AS A WAY OF BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER: We don’t talk in blanket statements. Everyone’s experience of death is different. Instead, we can encourage open communication by championing individual stories.
DIRECT: We don’t beat around the bush. As a brand, we use ‘death’ rather than ‘passed away’. We are direct without being crass.
GROUNDED: We know that nothing we say or do will remove the emotional difficulty of death. We will never promise that.
