Leaving a gift in your Will

At QEHKL Charity we are privileged to receive gifts made in Wills.

No matter whether they are large or small, they are a vital part of the charity’s funding to provide the extra special touches that make a huge difference for patients and our the amazing staff.

Leaving a gift in your Will is such a special thing to do. Your legacy will create a future where the best possible care is given to patients whilst ensuring staff have access to state-of-the-art equipment and training.

Your gift will be used wherever the need is greatest; or you can specify a department, ward or fund which you would particularly like to benefit.

If you are making a Will for the first time, or wish to update your Will, we recommend you contact a solicitor who is able to give you the correct advice. Leaving a gift to a charity in your Will can be beneficial as charitable gifts are exempt from inheritance tax, so it can reduce the tax on your estate. Currently, inheritance tax is payable at 40% on estates of over £325,000. Additionally, those who leave 10% (or more) of their net estate to charity will qualify for a reduction in the rate of any inheritance tax payable from 40% to 36%.  Your solicitor or financial advisor can help you with the latest in estate planning.

Making a Will requires careful thinking about who you would like your money and belongings to go to.

If you decide that you would like to leave a gift to QEHKL Charity, you will need to include the following details in your Will:

QEHKL Charity, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Gayton Road, King’s Lynn, Norfolk, PE30 4ET

Registered Charity Number: 1049223

You may also want to consider setting up a Memory Giving individual donation page or Much Loved page in memory of your loved one.
