Help with writing and updating your Will

"My father wanted to help people who have to cope with blindness. He believed the best way he could do that was by including Action for Blind People in his Will."

David Toms, son of Dr Vernon Toms who kindly left a gift to Action for Blind People.

It’s a lot easier than you might expect.
With the help of your solicitor, you can easily make or update your Will to include a gift to Action for Blind People. Below is the kind of wording you may find useful:

'I give to Action for Blind People (registered charity number 205913) of 14-16 Verney Road, London SE16 3DZ, a % share of the residue of my estate/the sum of £ (or specific item) to be used for its general purposes, and I declare that the receipt of the Treasurer or duly authorised officer shall be a full and sufficient discharge.'

Alternatively you may find the inclusion of a codicil far simpler. This document allows you to make changes to your Will, without having to rewrite it. If you have any questions at all, or would like to receive a codicil form please email Anna, our legacy manager or call us on 020 7635 4894.
