Leave a Legacy or Give in Memory

Giving in memory

Giving in memory of a loved one is a powerful way to pay tribute to their life whilst making a real difference to those struggling with eczema.

Your generous donation allows us to drive forward ground-breaking eczema studies, raise awareness of eczema, and campaign for better medical care.

You can make in memoriam donations in several ways, as explained below. Please do let us know the name of the loved one or friend in whose memory the donation is given, so we can make sure we reply to acknowledge receipt and convey our very grateful thanks.

Leaving a gift in your will

Leaving a legacy in your Will is a thoughtful and impactful way to support our work. In a letter we received recently, the Executor said “I am pleased to be able to tell you that the deceased has left you a legacy in appreciation of your work which has benefited his grandchildren.”

Leaving a legacy to Eczema UK in your Will is straightforward - although we do strongly recommend that you take professional advice about the drafting of your Will. Because we are a Charity, no Inheritance Tax will be payable on the legacy. Our registered charity number is 1009671.

There are different types of legacy but the more popular ones are:

• Residuary legacy – This is usually a percentage of what is left over after all cash gifts have been made and debts, expenses and any inheritance tax have been paid. This type of legacy rises in value with inflation and is the best possible gift you can make.

• Pecuniary legacy – This is a gift of a specific amount of money.

• Specific legacy – This is a gift of an asset. It could, for example, be a house, a piece of land, an item of jewellery or a painting.

The importance of having a Will

A Will is essential to ensure your wishes are honoured. Telling those close to you is not enough. If you are married or living with someone and die without a Will, your partner will not automatically inherit everything. Only with a properly drawn Will can you be certain that your intentions will be carried out. It is not expensive to have a Will prepared and thus to have this peace of mind.

The Goodwill Partnership

If you would like to create your Will in the comfort of your own home, you could contact The Goodwill Partnership. They can arrange a home visit with a professionally trained Will counsellor who will take instructions from you and pass the case onto a solicitor who will supply the Will with the backing of the Law Society. A basic single Will costs £98.00 (plus VAT) and a Will can be updated whenever required for £12.50 (plus VAT).

To contact the Goodwill Partnership telephone 0844 669 6148 or visit the Goodwill Partnership website.
