Leave a legacy
Please consider leaving Cecily's Fund a legacy
When Zambia's mothers and fathers die of AIDS they often have nothing to leave to their orphaned children. By including Cecily's Fund in your will you can give orphans hope, long into the future.
Cecily's Fund makes a long-term commitment to every child it helps. We will pay for their educational needs, such as uniforms and exam fees, from their first years of primary school to the end of their secondary education. Your legacy will enable us to fulfill these commitments.
Why do I need to make a will?
Over half of the people in Britain still do not make a will.
If you die without a will, everything you own will not automatically go to your husband, wife, partner or family. Without a will, those left behind may have to deal with complicated paperwork and may have to pay more tax. If you have no living relatives and do not make a will, everything you own will go to the State.
• A will is a unique chance to make a lasting difference to the causes you care about.
• Gifts to charity in a will are exempt from Inheritance Tax.
I am interested in leaving Cecily's Fund a legacy- how can I find out more?
If you already have a will, changing it to include Cecily's Fund is very simple and can easily be done by your solicitor. The Cecily's Fund Guide to Making a Will and Leaving a Legacy explains how you can go about writing or changing a will (with the help of a solicitor) and the different options there are if you wish to leave a charitable gift. If you already have a will and just need to know the wording to add Cecily's Fund as a beneficiary, the Cecily's Fund Guide to Wording for a Legacy or Codicil gives specific information your solicitor will need and illustrations of model wording.
For planning purposes, it would be very helpful if you could let us know that you intend to leave us a gift. You can do that by filling in a Pledge Form. |
