Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about leaving a legacy gift to Pathways to Progress

Do I need to have a large estate to leave a legacy gift?

Not at all. Every gift, regardless of size, makes a meaningful difference to our work. Residual gifts (a percentage of your estate) are particularly valuable as they maintain their value over time and aren't affected by inflation.

Can I specify how I want my gift to be used?

Yes, you can specify a particular programme or area you'd like your gift to support. However, general gifts that allow us to allocate funds where they're most needed are especially valuable as they provide flexibility to address emerging needs.

What if I already have a will?

You can add a legacy gift to Pathways to Progress through a simple document called a codicil, which amends your existing will without rewriting it entirely. Your solicitor can advise you on this straightforward process.

How will my legacy gift be recognised?

We respect all donors' privacy wishes. You can choose to remain anonymous or be recognised in our Legacy Circle. Either way, we ensure all gifts are used responsibly and transparently, with regular impact reporting available to executors.

Are there tax benefits to leaving a legacy gift?

Yes, gifts to Community Interest Companies in wills are exempt from Inheritance Tax, which can reduce the tax burden on your estate. Your solicitor can provide specific advice based on your circumstances.
