Leave a gift in your will

A legacy to Refuge is a gift of security and hope.

Many supporters choose to remember their favourite charity in their will once their family’s future has been safeguarded. Charitable legacies are exempt from Inheritance Tax, so by helping Refuge you could also substantially reduce the amount of tax payable on your estate.

Further to the 2002 Budget, donors who give real property (land or buildings) to charity are eligible for full tax relief from income and capital gains tax. Similarly to Share Gift, donors are entitled to claim relief for the full market value of the property donated.

Further details are available from the Inland Revenue website, or by calling 0845 302 0203.

Making a will and leaving a legacy is not about death and dying – it is about the hope you pass on to others and the satisfaction of sharing your good fortune with the people and causes close to your heart.

Refuge is commited to a world where domestic violence is not tolerated or ignored and where women and children can live in safety. Our presence is a testament to the goodwill and empathy of people around the world. By remembering Refuge in your will our work will continue in the knowledge we can count on your support.
