How to leave a gift in your will

Leaving a gift is simple and can be done in a few easy steps:

  1. Decide the type of gift:
    1. A percentage of your estate (residuary gift)
    2. A fixed amount (pecuniary gift)
    3. A specific item (e.g. property, shares, valuables)
  2. Include CCLG in your will 

Share this suggested wording with your solicitor:

"I give to CCLG: The Children and Young People's Cancer Association, of Century House, 24 De Montfort Street, Leicester, LE1 7GB, Registered charity number 1182637 (England & Wales) [% of my estate] or [the sum of £], to be used for general charitable purposes absolutely. I declare that the receipt of the Treasurer or duly authorised officer shall be full and sufficient discharge.”

  1. Update an existing will

You can easily amend your Will with your solicitor’s help using a simple codicil.

Tax benefits: Make your gift go further

Leaving 10% or more of your estate to charity can reduce your Inheritance Tax rate from 40% to 36%, meaning your generosity can go even further for your loved ones and children with cancer.
