Leaving a Gift in Your Will for The Brightwell
Make a Difference That Lives On
Give the gift of therapy, support and friendship by remembering The Brightwell in your Will. Leaving a financial gift to The Brightwell will have a direct and positive impact on those living with chronic neurological conditions. Your gift will enable individuals to be supported by our wonderful Centre.
Why Leave a Legacy to The Brightwell?
Your gift directly benefits individuals. Donations subsidise the costs associated with providing face-to-face therapies, clinics and social events for people living with these challenging conditions, so that they can afford to have these therapies on a long-term basis.
The Brightwell is not part of a larger Charity or group which means that you can be assured that your legacy will be used effectively for The Brightwell.
The Brightwell does not receive any direct funding from the Government, the NHS or National MS/Neurological Charities. This means that all costs must be fundraised or covered by Brightwell members’ voluntary contributions. By leaving a legacy you will be part of the future of this precious local resource.
We are a small charity, and we keep our overheads as low as possible, so your donation will be used effectively to support The Brightwell, now, and in the future.
So, whether you know someone who has benefitted from the therapies and support offered by The Charity, maybe you have benefitted yourself, been a supporter or a volunteer, please remember us in your Will.
Here is some important information you and your Solicitor will need to know…
The Brightwell is a brand name for two charities.
We are regulated by the Charities Commissions Regulations.
These are The West of England Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre Limited, Registered Charity Number 801155. and
The Brightwell Neurological Support Centre Limited, Registered Charity Number 1109459.
How to Leave a Legacy:
Your intention to make a bequest will need to be stipulated in your Will. This can be for a specific amount, for a specific purpose or as a percentage of your Estate, and can be made to one or the other of the Charities above.
There may be beneficial tax implications for your beneficiaries in terms of potential Inheritance Tax savings. We cannot give you any offered or implied guidance about this, but your appointed Solicitor will be able to give you specific and qualified advice.
We are very fortunate, that Wards, a firm of local Solicitors offer beneficial rates to The Brightwell Community to draw up a simple Will. Please see the details below:
