Help the causes you care about by leaving a charitable gift in your will. This ensures that charities in England and Wales can keep doing their essential work.
How to leave a gift in a will
Gifts in Wills are vital for most charities. There are two ways to remember a charity in your will:
- A residuary gift is a percentage of your estate.
- A specific gift is a fixed amount of money
Who can give
Anyone can leave a charitable gift in their will. If a cause matters to you, this is your opportunity to leave a lasting legacy.
How much to give
There is no fixed answer to this: you can leave as much as you want after taking care of your family and dependents. This could be 25%, 10% or whatever you want.
