About legacies and in memorial donations
There are a number of ways to leave a legacy. If you would like to leave a donation, it can be as simple as including Anxiety UK in your Will.
To celebrate the life of a loved one by giving an in memorial donation please contact [email protected]. Alternatively you can support Anxiety UK in this way directly through these websites:
Both sites allow users to set up memorial pages for loved ones who have passed, including adding donation links to charities associated with them. These pages are a lovely way to remember those dear to you.

If you very kindly decide to leave a legacy to Anxiety UK in your will, this would be greatly appreciated. A legacy is a gift of property, money or possessions. Anything you decide to leave to a charity in this way is free of tax.
Anxiety UK is part of ‘Remember A Charity’ – a consortium of over 140 charities set up to raise awareness of the importance of having a will and leaving gifts to charities. Their website gives more information about writing a will and leaving a legacy.
Here are the different types of legacies, and suggestions for the wording you could use in your will:
1. Residuary legacy. This is a gift of all or part of whatever remains of your estate after all other gifts have been distributed and any debts cleared.
Suggested wording:
“I give __________* of the residue of my estate absolutely to Anxiety UK of Nunes House, 447 Chester Road, Old Trafford, Manchester M16 9HA, Registered Charity Number 1113403, for its general charitable purposes. I direct that the receipt of the Treasurer or other duly authorised officer shall be a sufficient discharge to my executors.”
* State the percentage/fraction of the residue of your estate that you wish to leave.
2. Pecuniary legacy. This is a gift of a fixed sum of money and can be protected from inflation by linking it to the Retail Price Index.
Suggested wording:
“I give the following legacy free of tax to Anxiety UK of Nunes House, 447 Chester Road, Old Trafford, Manchester M16 9HA, Registered Charity Number 1113403, the sum of ________________(amount in figures and words) for its general charitable purposes. I direct that the receipt of the Treasurer or other duly authorised officer shall be a sufficient discharge to my executors.”
3. Specific gifts. These might include (for example) an item such as a house, a car, jewellery or antique furniture.
Suggested wording:
“I give to Anxiety UK of Nunes House, 447 Chester Road, Old Trafford, Manchester M16 9HA, Registered Charity Number 1113403, my __________________* for its general charitable purposes. I direct that the receipt of the Treasurer or other duly authorised officer shall be a sufficient discharge to my executors.”
* Add a description of what you’d like to leave to our charity.
