Can I choose how my gift will be spent?
Legacy gifts are so important, so we want you to be confident that your gift will make the greatest impact. Because it’s hard to know when your gift will happen, its useful to be able to use your gift at that time for the greatest good. If you have a view on areas of work that are important to you, please let us know and we can work with the executors of your will to do our best to meet your wishes.
What type of gift can I make?
The main types of gift people make are a share of their estate (called a residuary) or a single gift (called a pecuniary). Many people prefer to give a residuary gift because it keeps in line with inflation and doesn’t lose value over time. Many supporters like to leave a % of their estate after they have looked after friends, family and loved ones.
Wouldn’t it be better to help now rather than later?
Lots of supporters like to give in life right now as well as leaving a gift for when they have gone. For many, it allows you to keep giving. For some, it’s now that matters. For others it the confidence of a gift later. All gifts matter to us and we are really grateful for people’s generosity during life and beyond. People have given to us for over 130 years and it’s because of this we have been able to deliver for each generation and those to come.
