Donate by Legacy: Leave a Gift in your Will

Leave a donation to Action on Asbestos in your will

Leaving a gift to Action on Asbestos is a very special way of ensuring that we can continue our work. Your gift does not have to be large, but it will go directly towards our charitable work.

If you would like to leave a gift to Action on Asbestos in your will, we ask that you contact your solicitor who is best placed to advise you.

Ways you can leave gifts to charity in your will

Your solicitor can advise you how to leave a gift to charity in your will

If your estate is liable to Inheritance Tax, you could reduce the amount due by choosing to give money to charity.

  • You can either leave a fixed sum (known as a ‘Pecuniary Legacy’), or part or all of your estate once other gifts have been distributed (known as a ‘Residuary Legacy’).
  • You can do this through your will, or by a declaration to the executors or personal representatives giving instructions as to how you would like your legacy to be distributed.

We do not require any particular wording but you will need to mention our name, registered address and charity number as follows:

Action on Asbestos
245 High Street
Glasgow
G4 0QR

Charity number: SCO17874
Company number: 398038

Tel: FREEPHONE 0800 089 1717

We would be grateful if you would inform us of your gift.  If you would like to discuss leaving a gift in your will, then please contact us.
