Leave a legacy

Legacy gifts from our supporters are crucial to our future work. It’s easy to leave us a legacy to help us continue to support people with eating disorders and their families in the future.

Why leave a legacy?

Leaving a gift in your will to Beat will be a wonderful way to make your support for us live on. Our vision is that eating disorders will be beaten and your legacy will support our ongoing work to achieve this.

Your gift will be put to work right away, allowing us to continue to support the thousands of people who contact us for help each month via our Helpline and message boards. We will continue to campaign to challenge the stigmas that people with eating disorders face and make our vision real, eating disorders will be beaten.

Ways to leave a legacy

We fully appreciate that your loved ones come first but if you could find room in your will for our charity any gift will help however large or small.

There are various ways to remember us:

- A residuary gift is a share of your estate once your family has been taken care of.

- A pecuniary gift is a specified amount of money left to Beat

- A reversionary gift allows you to leave your estate to your dependents while they are living, but after they pass away it will revert to Beat

Including your wishes in your Will is straightforward. If you already have a Will, all you need to do is add a codicil. If you have not written a Will yet, you will need to consult a solicitor.

We recommend that you seek the guidance of your solicitor when you make your will or codicil, so that your intentions can be fully carried out.

Your solicitor can advise you on the correct wording for your will or codicil but the following information might be helpful.
