"Our vision is that veterans can receive the mental health care and support they need, both now and in the future. By leaving a gift to help provide care and support for veterans with mental health issues, you’ll be standing up for service personnel – past, present and future – and helping them rebuild their lives. The greatest legacy you can leave for future generations is a gift in your Will."
Leaving a gift to veterans

WAYS TO GIVE
Writing your Will is simple to do and is a lasting, positive statement about what matters to you. Your Will is an important step in ensuring the people and causes you care about are looked after. There are different types of gifts you can leave in your Will:
Giving a percentage of your Will is often the best type of giving as it ensures your gift maintains its value over a long period of time.
Even 1% of your Will, after providing for those closest to you, can change the lives of veterans for years to come.
If your estate will be liable to Inheritance Tax, there can also be tax benefits from giving at least 10% of your net estate to charity.
You may prefer to give a fixed amount of money in your Will. This can be any amount that you choose, we sincerely appreciate any legacy that is left and every single one will make an impact.
You can leave any item in your Will, from shares or a stamp collection to a car or house. Anything you choose to leave will go towards funding veteran treatment.
