There are several ways to include Ripple Effect Charity in your Will. Your solicitor can help you decide which option is most appropriate for your circumstances.
A percentage
A percentage gift allows you to provide for the people you care about while also supporting environmental restoration. Because it remains proportional to the value of your estate, it can retain its value over time.
A specific amount
You may choose to leave a particular sum of money to support Ripple Effect Charity's work.
A specific asset
You may choose to leave an asset such as property, shares or another item of value.
