We understand that loved ones and family come first in financial plans, and once you have provided for your loved ones, we hope you will consider leaving a gift to Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals Charity. Each and every gift we receive is greatly appreciated.
A valid, and up-to-date will is vital to ensure that your wishes are honoured. Telling those close to you what you would like to happen with your estate is not enough. We would always advise that you take independent advice from a solicitor when writing your will and recommend that you review your Will regularly to ensure that it is relevant especially if your family circumstances or wishes change. There is further advice on the Law Society website on what to consider when making your will.
Leaving a gift in your will is a wonderful way to support people in your local community; it is also extremely tax efficient, as leaving a will to a registered charity is currently exempt from Inheritance Tax and Income Tax. You do not need to leave a fortune or choose between Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals Charity and your family.
These very special gifts help Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals Charity carry on its work. Anything you leave will make a real difference to how we can support patients in the future.
The types of gifts you may choose are:
