Leaving a gift in your Will is one of the most powerful ways you can help change lives for autistic people and their families, for many years to come.
Leaving a gift in your Will is one of the most powerful ways you can help change lives for autistic people and their families, for many years to come.
Dogs for Autism is the UK’s first charity to exclusively provide assistance dogs for autistic people of any age, anywhere in the UK. Without us, children, young people and adults wouldn’t be able to have the support of an autism assistance dog funded and provided by a charity.
These dogs transform lives. They help children attend school confidently, young people to continue into college or university and adults to rejoin the workforce. Families are finally able to enjoy days out or even simple shopping trips together. Our dogs make the world feel safer and more accessible.
Leaving a gift is straightforward, whether you are writing your Will for the first time or updating an existing one. Legacies left to charity are exempt from inheritance tax, and in some cases can reduce the overall inheritance tax liability on your estate.
If you decide to leave a gift to Dogs for Autism, we recommend using the following wording:
I leave xxx to Dogs for Autism of
Unit 10, Hartley Park Farm Business Centre, Selborne Road, Alton, Hampshire, GU34 3HD.
Registered charity number 1181615 in England and Wales.
Please speak to your solicitor to ensure your wishes are carried out as intended.
