Why leave a legacy to Sreepur
Legacy gifts sustain our crucial work with vulnerable single mothers and children in Bangladesh, creating a nurturing sanctuary where families can heal and grow. By remembering us in their wills, compassionate supporters establish meaningful legacies that transform lives for generations to come.
Every gift, regardless of size, ensures these brave families always have a safe haven to find support, care, and opportunities. Your generosity helps mothers develop essential skills while their children receive education and healthcare in a loving environment.
Your bequest becomes a powerful testament to your values, empowering families to build brighter futures together.
How to leave a gift in your Will
Include the charity in your will - This is the most common method. You can specify:
- Complete a codicil to add the charity to an existing will
- Set up a charitable trust during your lifetime or in your will
- Name a charity as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or pension
To make your legacy gift most effective:
- Use the charity's official name, address, and registered charity number
- Consider discussing your intentions with the charity directly
- Consult a solicitor or will-writing professional to ensure your wishes are legally valid
Your legacy gift may also qualify for inheritance tax benefits, as charitable donations are exempt from inheritance tax.
Trustee Sue tells us why she's leaving a legacy
"I support Sreepur Village because I know my donations really do change the lives of the destitute and vulnerable mothers and children in their care.
They feel safe when they arrive, sometimes for the first time in their lives, and when they leave the education and skills provided give them hope and security for the future. I have been fortunate in my life. It now gives me pleasure to know that by leaving a legacy to Sreepur I can help the village provide a secure and independent future for the women and their children, saving them for hardship and turning their lives around".
