Leaving a charitable gift in your Will
A gift in your Will could be one of the most important contributions you make to a cause that you care about. By leaving a gift in your Will to VICTA, you will be helping to provide support and guidance to future generations of children and young adults who are blind or partially sighted.
You can leave VICTA the following in your Will
- A percentage or share of your estate. For example, you could leave 10% or 1/5 of your total wealth. This is known as a residuary gift
- A lump sum. You might choose to leave a fixed amount of money to VICTA, such as £100, £1,000 or £10,000. This is known as a pecuniary gift
- Valuable items. For example, you might leave antique, jewellery or shares to us. This is known as a specific gift
Why
VICTA has grown from a local support group to a national charity supporting those with sight loss from 0 to 29 years. We rely entirely on donations and even the smallest of gifts can help us to continue our award-winning work providing activities that connect young people and build invaluable life, social and employability skills, and grants towards accessible equipment.
A gift to VICTA in your will and change lives for years to come.
