Please help us save for a place of our own by leaving us a legacy in your will. Eden Animal Rescue currently rent their premises at Hardendale, however it is our long term ambition to secure the future of the charity by buying our own property and use this as our main base and care centre. We need to fund this ambitious project in addition to our normal fund raising activities. We receive no government funding so it is up to us as a charity to raise the funds to pay for the food, shelter and veterinary care for all the animals in our care. This is a tall order but one that is essential to secure our long term future.

If you have already made a Will, and it is up to date, then you can add to it by having your solicitor draw up a codicil. This will leave the existing Will completely unchanged and is simple and inexpensive to do.

Alternatively, if you have not yet made a Will and you would like to pass on a legacy to EAR then you should seek the advice of your solicitor and ask him/her to draw up a Will based upon your wishes. There are three types of legacy; a pecuniary legacy is a specific amount of money, a gift in kind is the gift of a property or item of jewellery and the third type is a residual legacy which is the gift of whole or part of your estate once debts, liabilities and other legacies have been paid.

We can provide you with some suggested wording for both codicils and legacies please contact us if you would find this useful. However, you should always have your solicitor draw up the final draft as it is a legal document and must be properly signed and witnessed. Thank you for taking the time to read to this.
