Legacy
income can be very important to a small charity like Vision Aid
Overseas. It ensures that we can continue to help people in the future!
Currently only one in seven Wills contains a charitable bequest and very
many people fail to make a Will at all. Here is a sample form of
wording for those who would like to prepare a bequest in favour of
Vision Aid Overseas:
‘I
bequeath to Vision Aid Overseas (a tenth/a quarter/a half etc.) of
the residue of my estate, free of tax and duty, to be applied to the
general purpose of the said Vision Aid Overseas, and I declare that
the receipt of the Honorary Treasurer or other authorised official
for the time being of the said Vision Aid Overseas shall be
sufficient discharge of the bequest.’
