Our Charity receives no government funding and the children we help rely on your generous donations and legacies. By leaving us a legacy gift in your will you are allowing us to continue to support children from Naval backgrounds. We are proud that with the help of donations like yours, our Charity has improved the lives of children for over two centuries.
It’s a good idea to see how much your estate might be worth by adding up all your assets and deducting any loans, etc. It may also allow you to decide who should receive any items of actual or sentimental value. This will then help you decide what gifts to make to family, friends, and finally, the causes you care about.
Â
There are three main types of gifts you can leave to The Naval Children’s Charity in your will. Whichever you choose, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing it will be greatly valued and make a difference to the lives of the children and families we support.
This gift (also called a residuary gift) is a percentage of your estate. The actual amount is calculated once all set sums of money and personal possessions have been distributed. It can be for any percentage you choose (large or small). Gifts like these often make the biggest difference in our work with children and families.
You may prefer to leave a set sum (also known as a pecuniary gift) of any amount, so you know exactly how much the Charity will receive from your estate.Â
You may choose to leave a specific item of value e.g. jewellery, painting, etc. to the Charity. That’s fine with us, but please bear in mind we will usually arrange for such items to be sold, with the funds raised being used to support our services.
Â
Including the Charity in your will is very straightforward and will cost nothing now.
