When leaving a gift to Whizz Kidz, you can use the wording below for drafting or amending your Will. Wording if you’re leaving Whizz Kidz a percentage of your estate (also referred to as a residuary gift): I give ……. per cent (…….%) of the residue of my real and personal estate Whizz Kidz of 30 Park Street, London, SE1 9EQ (registered charity no. 802872) and the receipt of a duly authorised officer for the time being of Whizz Kidz shall be sufficient discharge for my Executors. Wording if you’re leaving Whizz Kidz a set sum (also referred to as a pecuniary gift): I give ……. pounds (£…….) to Whizz Kidz of 30 Park Street, London, SE1 9LQ (registered charity no. 802872) and the receipt of a duly authorised officer for the time being of Whizz Kidz shall be sufficient discharge for my Executors. Wording if you’re leaving Whizz Kidz a particular asset (also referred to as a specific gift): I give my ……. (include a description of the asset here) to Whizz Kidz of 30 Park Street, London, SE1 9LQ (registered charity no. 802872) and the receipt of a duly authorised officer for the time being of Whizz Kidz shall be sufficient discharge for my Executors. If you're considering leaving assets in trust which will pass to the charity once any life interest has ended (also referred to as a reversionary gift) please consult your solicitor. They will be able to provide you with an appropriate form of wording, as this can be complex depending on how you wish the trust operate.

How your gift helps
Ethan is a bright, confident 5-year-old. He was born with a rare congenital condition called Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC), which means he has very limited control of his joints. Whizz-Kidz provided Ethan with a power chair. Now, he can keep up with his younger brother, enjoy family and school outings and be as mischievous as his friends.
By leaving a gift to Whizz Kidz in your Will, you can make sure more young wheelchair users like Ethan get the wheelchair that’s right for them. A gift that makes a real difference.
We want to live in a world where every young wheelchair user has the right equipment, skills and confidence to go further.
You could be part of a community that advances our movement for a more open, accessible world.
Thank you for thinking of Whizz Kidz.
