MAKE A BEQUEST

Securing a future without leprosy

What is a bequest?

A bequest is a gift of cash or assets included in your will and is also known as a legacy and can be made once family and dependent relatives have been provided for. It is a powerful way to help secure our future ability to carry on with the work of bringing healing and hope to leprosy sufferers around the world.

How do I make a bequest?

It is easy to include a bequest gift to The Leprosy Mission in your existing will. All you need to do is add a ‘codicil’ which is an amendment to your will which enables your solicitor to make the necessary changes.

We would strongly encourage you to establish a will as it is the only way to ensure that your wishes concerning your assets are carried out in the event of your death. To set up your will you’ll need to consult a solicitor or Public Trust office to discuss your wishes and have your will correctly drawn up which will make proper provision for your family and nominated charitable organisations.

Can I nominate my bequest for a specific need?

You can certainly nominate a specific area or way you would like your bequest to be spent. We are happy to discuss this with you and help you with ideas on how your gift can be used to fulfil your individual wishes. If you choose not to specify a specific area we will match the current needs of our project work with communities affected by leprosy. As is the case with all donations towards our work, this will ensure your generosity is used to make a lasting difference in people’s lives.

The difference your bequest gift will make

Your bequest will help us to one day secure a future free of leprosy. The Leprosy Mission is an international Christian aid & development organisation working in 28 countries and dedicated to bringing healing and transformation to people living in poverty who are either suffering from or are at risk from the potentially crippling effects of leprosy.
