Leave a Legacy
We’re grateful for any gift – large or small
Your generous support means we are able to help the older generation,
live their later years to the max.
Leaving a gift in your will to The Helpful Bureau is simple and easy to do and, if you choose this incredible way of giving, there are different types of gifts to choose from.
Residuary
A residuary gift is a share of your estate – a percentage of what is left after any taxes or costs have been subtracted. Because this gift is a percentage of your estate you don’t need to worry if your financial situation changes
Pecuniary
A pecuniary gift is a fixed amount of money, e.g. £5,000.
Specific
These are particular items, such as a house, stocks and shares or jewellery. Anything that’s of financial value to you.
Restricting gifts
If you leave a gift to The Helpful Bureau in your will and would like this to be used for a particular area of our work, please express this as a non-binding wish. We will do our best to fulfil your wishes, but if this is not possible, we will spend the funds as near as possible to the wishes expressed to do whatever it takes to help older people living well.
