Legacy Funding

What do you remember when you look back on your life?

The gift of life is a great thing, and yet your entire life can change in an instant. This is the reality for people who are targeted by Hate Crime. Re-thinking the way they move and re-calculating the risk to their life as they walk down the street.

Whatever your experience of moving through the world has been, one thing is for certain – by leaving a gift in your Will to Stop Hate UK, you can help shape the lives of some of the UK’s most targeted communities and help them to move freely and safely again.

Why leave a legacy donation to us?

Discrimination and Hate continue to affect many families and individuals across the UK and it could be affecting you or your children right now. For decades, anti-hate crime organisations have been underfunded, and hate and discrimination have continued to rise. Your gift can ensure that people experiencing hate are not forgotten and help us to put a stop to it.

By leaving a gift in your will, you can help more people to get the advocacy and support they need when they experience a Hate Crime, and this can have the potential to transform the lives of people living in fear now, and in the future.

A gift in your will can help create a fairer world for people affected by hate and discrimination. It can be a powerful statement against injustice and help make sure we are here to continue to champion the right that everyone deserves to be who they are.

By leaving a gift in your will, you can help us maintain – and in the future, invest and develop- our extensive range of support services for people who face discrimination day in and day out.

Wording to use when adding a gift to Stop Hate UK in your will

This suggested legal wording will assist your solicitor in drawing up or amending your will to include your gift to help our vital work

Residuary Gift

I give the residue of my estate to Stop Hate UK (Registered charity number 1062692) for its general charitable purposes. I further direct that the receipt of the Chief Executive or other proper officer of the said charity for the time being shall be a full and sufficient discharge for the said gift.

Gift of money or item or item specified

I give the sum of £_____ (or the item specified) to Stop Hate UK (Registered charity number 1062692) for its general charitable purposes. I further direct that the receipt of the Chief Executive or other proper officer of the said charity for the time being shall be a full and sufficient discharge for the said gift.

What is the long-term impact?

Your gift can bring the change people experiencing hate and discrimination need.

The long-term impact of your gift will help us to address growing concerns for safety across the UK. Now, more than ever, the need for a free national anti-hate crime reporting service that is confidential and independent is vital for generations to come. We hope that one day, a national helpline service is not needed, but for now, we will continue to fight hate in all its forms and support those affected, 24/7, 365 days a year in the locations where we operate.

Your gift could mean that long-term, future generations to come can access the support they need regardless of their location.

Leave a gift to combat the reality that many are still suffering in silence and help us to enact much needed societal change.

When people speak out, we stand up.

Leaving a legacy donation

There are 3 main types of gift you can leave in your will:

A residuary gift is a percentage of your estate once any specified gifts have been made to friends and family. Many of our supporters choose to leave this type of gift because its value will be dependent on the value of your estate at any given time rather than a set amount. This provides supporters with more flexibility when deciding how to ensure that their loved ones are well looked after first and foremost.

A pecuniary gift is a specific amount of money. It’s worth bearing in mind that the effects of inflation mean that this type of gift is likely to lose value over time and may end up being less than you initially intend.

A specific gift is a gift of a specified item – such as a personal possession, land, buildings or stocks and shares.

At Stop Hate UK, we recommend getting professional advice from a solicitor when writing your will. Do-it-yourself wills may seem inexpensive, but they’re not always watertight, which can cause complications and lead to unexpected costs further down the line.

By appointing a professional adviser, like a solicitor, you can make sure your will is written properly and meets your unique requirements.

Advice on Wills

Please consider leaving a gift in your will to Stop Hate UK. A gift left in your Will is also an opportunity to make a statement about who you are and what matters to you. It is a chance to pass on your values to future generations to come.
