LEAVING A LEGACY

Leaving a legacy to HVP UK is the most lasting gift you could make. The funds we receive from legacies will ensure that we can continue to support the work of HVP in Nepal. Leaving a legacy can save on tax as any donation will be deducted from the worth of an estate before any inheritance tax liabilities are calculated.

HVP UK would prefer that you did not leave a legacy for a specific project. The reason for this is that our projects reflect current concerns and are therefore dynamic; hence they will alter over the years.

We will be happy to give you any advice we can on how to set up a legacy for HVP UK, however, we would like to stress that we do not have legal expertise and would therefore recommend that you consult your bank or legal advisor who will be able to give you professional advice.

If you wish to discuss leaving a legacy please contact HVP UK Trustee, Kate Marklew at katemarklew@freeuk.com

GIFT AID

The Gift Aid scheme enables us to claim back any tax paid on your donations. For the scheme to apply, you must pay an amount of UK income and/or capital gains tax at least equal to that which we will claim on your donations in the tax year.

Using Gift Aid currently means that for every pound that you give, HVP gets an extra 28 pence, helping your donation to go further. So for every £10 you give HVP UK will get another £2.80 from the government.

It’s as simple as that!
