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 2nd Floor, 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 2nd floor, 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 2nd floor, 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.
Gifts in Wills
By leaving a gift to Whizz Kidz in your Will, you can make sure more young wheelchair users get the wheelchair that’s perfect for them.
All children should have the freedom to grow up, to be spontaneous and to go on adventures. But too many young wheelchair users’ dreams are determined by the limitations of society’s imagination.
How your gift helps
Carmela is a lively and bubbly six-year-old but a rare and progressive condition called LMNA-related congenital muscular dystrophy means she has trouble walking and sitting without support. Whizz-Kidz helped Carmela find a trike – to help with her physiotherapy and getting around. Now you’ll see her whizzing around the countryside, on all sorts of adventures!
By leaving a gift to Whizz Kidz in your Will, you can make sure more young wheelchair users, like Carmela, get the wheelchair that’s perfect for them. A gift that gives them independence – and the confidence to dream big.
We want to live in a world where every child has the freedom to live their life to the fullest. That’s a big dream, and it could be your legacy if you choose to leave a gift to Whizz Kidz in your Will.
Thank you for thinking of Whizz Kidz.
