Legacy Giving

Leaving a gift in your Will

By making gift to Shaw Trust in your Will you can help the charity to plan for the future with greater confidence and support our continuing mission to help disabled and disadvantaged people find work and live more independent lives.

Making a gift to Shaw Trust in your Will is simple and straightforward. It is also extremely tax effective as all bequests to charity are exempt from inheritance tax.

How does it work?

A charitable legacy could be a gift of money or of any other assets that you leave behind. While there are a number of options to consider, there are two main types of charitable legacies; pecuniary and residuary. Pecuniary legacies specify a sum of money or item of value to be donated, whilst a residuary legacy allows you to donate a percentage of the net value of your estate or the remaining sum after you have provided for family and friends.
