A gift left to a charity can ease the burden of Inheritance Tax and can ensure your generosity keeps on making a difference for years to come. A gift can be any size and it will not prevent you from providing for your family. As little as 1% to Addington Fund in your Will makes such a difference and still means your loved ones get 99%.

Every adult should have a Will, regardless of age, income or wealth. It is the only way to ensure your wishes are met after death. Yet, one in five people in the UK die without one, which can cause extra distress for loved ones.

If you are considering making a Will, it is important to use the services of a professional Will maker, such as a solicitor. If you already have a Will and you are considering making changes to it, your solicitor can advise on how this is usually done using a written instruction called a Codicil. Making a Will is quick and easy to do and if you wish to remember us then you only need to tell your solicitor our registered charity name and number [Addington Fund, Charity Number 1097092] - it’s that simple!

Here are four ways you can support our work by remembering us in your Will:

- By gifting the remainder of your estate after all payments and other wishes are fulfilled

– By gifting a predetermined sum of money

– By leaving us something specific (property, stocks and shares, etc)

– By requesting that we receive your gift after death of another beneficiary.
