Leave a gift in your will
Why leave a gift in your will?
Leaving a legacy donation in your will can be a wonderful way to make a lasting impact. Any legacy, no matter how large or small, will make a difference to people in our community. By supporting HILS, you can enhance the lives of individuals through:
- Supporting people in financial crisis to receive hot, nutritious meals, or emergency food and grocery packs.
- Encouraging someone living with a disability to improve their mobility and wellness through an Active Ageing Exercise programme, helping prevent hospital visits down the line.
- Fostering an environment for someone with dementia to make new connections at one of our Dementia Fun Clubs.
How to leave a gift in your will
Leaving a legacy donation is a simple process. A solicitor can help you include this provision in your will or add a codicil to an existing one.
There are three types of gift you can leave in your will:
- A portion of your estate, often what remains after remembering family and friends. This is typically referred to as a residuary gift.
- You can also choose to give a specific sum of money, known as a pecuniary gift.
- Alternatively, you may opt to donate a specific item like an antique, painting, property, or shares, which we would then sell to support our cause.
