Leave a Gift in Your Will
Leaving a gift in your will is one of the biggest things you can do to help create a community where everyone can live free from abuse.
Every week in the UK two women are murdered by their partner or ex-partner. We’ve been working for over 30 years to create a community where children and adults can live free from abuse. Leaving a gift in your will can help bring this day forward and transform lives.
No matter the size, we’ll use your gift to: –
- Educate children to prevent the development of abusive behaviours before they arise
- Train professionals to provide the right response
- Support men experiencing abuse to remain safe
- Challenge gender inequality in society
Your gift will help to transform lives.
Types of Gift
A Residuary Gift
The residue (or a proportion of the residue) of an estate after all other gifts, debts and expenses have been paid.
A Pecuniary Gift
A fixed sum of money.
A Reversionary Gift
A two-stage gift where assets are first held in a trust to provide some benefit to an individual. This could be a property for them to live in or income generated by investments. Once that individual’s need for the property (or trust) ends, the assets then pass to a second beneficiary, such as a charity.
A Specific Gift
An identifiable asset such as a property, an investment or a piece of jewellery.
These types of legacy gifts are a great way of ensuring that both your loved ones and the charitable causes you care about will benefit from your estate.
