A new survey has revealed the top 50 things which Scots hope to preserve for the next generation.
Remember A Charity aims to encourage Scots to hand down something wonderful for future generations by leaving a gift to charity in their will.
A study conducted by Remember A Charity explores the top 50 things Scots hope to preserve for the next generation. The list highlights that charitable giving is evidently close to the nation’s heart.
New research has revealed the NHS, greenspace, bumblebees and medical care charities have been named as some of things that are treasured the most by Scotland.
The NHS took the top spot, with 59% of those surveyed wanting to ensure its longevity, with almost three-quarters (74%) of 55+ year olds hoping it is protected for future generations.
Seven of the top 10 positions were held by charity organisations, covering various areas; medical care, medical research, mental health, environmental conservation, first response, elderly support and animal welfare. Tunnocks tea cakes and Scottie Dogs also, of course, made an appearance in the top 50 things to preserve for future generations.
Rob Cope, director of Remember A Charity, said: ‘As a nation, we should be proud of the diverse range of traditions, institutions and organisations that make up and contribute to British culture and society.
Tunnock’s tea cakes feature on the list of things Scots most want to preserve for the next generation
‘Our charities play a pivotal and essential role in what makes our country great. With the UK being one of the most charitable nations, leaving a gift to charity in one’s Will – once family and friends have been taken care of – is a fantastic way to pass on something wonderful to benefit future generations.’
