Legacies

A legacy is an amount of money or property left to an organisation.

There are 3 main types of gifts you may leave in your will. These are:

• A share of your estate (a residuary bequest) – the whole or part of your estate after all legacies and expenses are paid. These gifts are important as they tend to maintain or increase in value over time.
• A specific sum of money (a pecuniary legacy) – this is a gift of a set amount. It is likely this gift will decrease in value over time, due to inflation.
• An item which could be something valuable such as antiques or property.

Share giving

Giving shares can be more beneficial to us than donating cash. It is one of the most tax effective ways to offer us support as you can claim income tax relief on the share value and no capital gains tax will apply.

Gift in Celebration

Many people are celebrating birthdays, religious occasions and weddings by asking for donations instead of gifts. By supporting us through this method you are contributing towards the truly remarkable gift of education and a route out of poverty.

Gift In Memory

Thank you for considering us at what must be a difficult time. By remembering a loved one and paying tribute to their life you are also positively transforming the lives of others.
