FAQs
A gift in a Will (sometimes called a legacy gift) is a way of leaving something to a person or group after you die.
This is completely your choice, however CNWL NHS Health Charity will benefit most from unrestricted gifts so we can allocate funds based on the greatest need within our services.
You may be able to record any changes simply by adding a codicil or a letter of wishes to your current Will. It is best to check with a solicitor.
A solicitor can advise you on what type of gift you may wish to leave, but as a starting point you can provide them with our address and registered charity number.
