Leave a legacy

Our projects and services are dependent upon the generosity of our supporters. Gifts left in wills, or ‘legacies,’ are especially important.

Why write a will?

  • Peace of mind to ensures that the right people benefit from your estate when you pass away
  • Less chance of delays and disputes, and your loved ones are taken care of financially
  • Tax-efficient gifts can be left to spouses, charities or pension funds

What kind of gift can I leave to a charity?

  • A Residuary gift – a percentage of your estate after bills and expenses
  • A Pecuniary gift – a fixed amount of money, for example, £5,000
