Leaving a gift in your will is one of the most effective things you can do to help women and children flourish in a life free from abuse.
Your Will is special and unique to you, just like those you love. Your loved ones come first, but did you know that even 1% could make a meaningful impact?
Many supporters choose to remember their favourite charity in their will once their family’s future has been safeguarded. When the time comes to decide, please consider remembering Cyfannol Women’s Aid, 1045890.
Leave a legacy of hope. With a gift to Cyfannol in your will, you can help families to flourish in a life free from abuse.
How?
Simply contact your solicitor with our name and registered charity number, Cyfannol Women’s Aid, 1045890. This one simple step will change lives.
Every year, our support services save lives and help thousands of women fleeing abuse. However, in order to provide them, we will need long-term funding. We couldn’t keep our doors open without kind legacy gifts and supporters.
We engage with Gwent Police, local schools, and communities to offer them with resources that debunk myths and misconceptions regarding abuse while also assisting them in successfully responding to survivors.
You might be able to help us give survivors a better future of freedom and hope. Because of legacy donations, we could provide them with move-on homes after they leave the refuge and begin a new life.
If you are thinking about leaving a gift in your Will, here are some frequently asked questions that may help you decide whether you want to support us.
Charities rely on gifts in Wills to continue their vital work for future generations.
Yes. This is especially true with a small charity such as Cyfannol Women’s Aid. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference and enables us to provide support for people fleeing abuse.
No, family and friends always come first. But if, after taking care of them, you have even a small amount left, a gift in your Will could make all the difference to those we support.
No, gifts left to charity in your Will are tax-free. Help to minimise inheritance tax paid on your estate.
No, there are three different types of gifts you can leave to charity:
Pecuniary gifts: a set amount of money
Residuary gifts: a percentage, or the whole, of your estate (what’s left after other specified gifts, costs, and tax)
Specific gifts: a specific object, asset or property
You will be able to discuss this with a professional advisor to make it clear exactly what you want to leave.
Yes, you can leave a conditional gift, but it is best to discuss this first. It’s not always possible for us to use a gift in the way you want, which could mean that we might not be able to accept the gift. Unrestricted gifts can offer support wherever the need is greatest.
The first step should always be to consult with a professional (see below). Then, when you first start planning your Will, it can be a good idea to take stock of all your assets, liabilities and estate. You can then decide what you would like to leave and to whom. It may also be important to include any wishes you may have that you would like your loved ones to follow.
Family and friends may be able to recommend a good solicitor. Alternately, if you live in the UK, you can find a local solicitor via The Law Society (see relatable links).
Donate on behalf of a loved one
Leave a gift in your Will in memory of your loved one and lasting legacy of hope for Cyfannol.
Your Will is special and unique to you just like those you love. Who you include in it, how you split your estate up and who you ask to act as executors is all down to you and your choice. Therefore, why not choose to leave a gift in your Will to a charity you or a loved one of yours admired, in their memory?
Help their memory live on with a gift in your Will to the Cyfannol Women’s Aid.
In memory giving is a wonderful way to remember someone, while also making a difference to people effected by a form of abuse.
