CREATE A LASTING LEGACY

Leaving a gift in your will is a meaningful way to support Dundee United Community Trust and ensure that our vital work continues for future generations. Your legacy gift will help us provide life-changing programmes and services for people living in our community. By including our charity in your will, you can make a lasting impact and help us build a brighter future for all.

WHY LEAVE A LEGACY GIFT?

ENDURING IMPACT
A legacy gift ensures that your values and commitment to helping others live on. Your generosity will continue to support our mission and make a difference long after you are gone.

SUPPORT FUTURE GENERATIONS
Your gift will fund essential programmes that promote health, wellbeing, and social inclusion, providing opportunities and support for future generations.

TAX BENEFITS
Leaving a gift in your will can offer tax benefits for your estate, potentially reducing the tax burden on your loved ones.

WHY LEAVE A LEGACY GIFT?

1 | DECIDE ON YOUR GIFT
Consider what type of gift you would like to leave. There are several options, such as a residuary gift (a percentage of your estate after other bequests have been made), a pecuniary gift (a fixed sum of money), or a specific gift (a particular item, such as property, shares of valuable items).

2 | SPEAK WITH YOUR SOLICITOR
Consult with your solicitor to include your chosen gift in your will. They can provide you with the appropriate legal wording and ensure your wishes are clearly documented.

3 | INFORM US
Letting us know about your gift can help us plan for the future and acknowledge your generosity. While this is not required, we would love the opportunity to thank you and discuss how you would like your gift to be used.
