How to leave a gift to us
Gifts from Wills form an vital part of our income and so much of our crucial work is only possible thanks to these generous gifts.
Thank you for considering including a gift to the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign in your Will. It is your chance to leave something of lasting value and to share in the vision that muscle disease can be beaten. Leaving a gift to charity can also be a tax effective method of giving as it can help to eliminate inheritance tax.
One simple way to do this may be to leave the residue of your estate – that is whatever is left after your family and friends have been taken care of. Alternatively you can make a gift for a specific sum. Which ever you choose, you can be sure your gift will be greatly appreciated.
Leaving your residue to Muscular Dystrophy Campaign
If you would like to leave your residuary estate to Muscular Dystrophy Campaign, it means that once you have provided for your family and friends with specific gifts of money or items, Muscular Dystrophy Campaign receives all or part of the residue of your estate. If this is what you wish to do, we suggest that you include the following wording in your Will:
I give all [or a …..% share] of the residue of my estate to the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign (Registered charity number in England and Wales 205395 and in Scotland SC039445), 61 Southwark Street, London, SE1 0HL, for its general charitable purposes and I direct that the receipt of the treasurer or duly authorised officer shall be a valid and appropriate form of discharge
Leaving a specific sum of money to Muscular Dystrophy Campaign
If you wish to leave us a specific sum of money in your Will, we suggest that you include the following wording:
I give to the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign (Registered charity number in England and Wales 205395 and in Scotland SC039445), 61 Southwark Street, London, SE1 0LH, the sum of [amount in figures and words] to be used for its general charitable purposes and I direct that the receipt of the treasurer or duly authorized officer shall be a valid and appropriate form of discharge.
