Gifts in Wills

Leaving a gift in your will to the Lyme Resource Centre is a meaningful gift that will help reduce the risk of Lyme Disease for future generations allowing them to enjoy the great outdoors safely.

We understand that your loved ones come first when thinking about who to provide for in your will, therefore we are grateful for any gift you decide to give us.

. There are two different types of gifts you can leave in a will: Pecuniary - a specific sum of money Residuary - a share in, or all of what's left of the value of your estate after family and friends have been taken care of. The advantage of leaving a residuary gift is that you don’t have to consider how much you will have available after other gifts have been distributed.

. A will is an important, legal document so we recommend using a solicitor or professional will writer when making or amending your will. They will be able to advise you on the specific wording necessary. Please ensure you use our full details: Lyme Resource Centre 97 Pettycur Road Kinghorn Fife KY3 9RP Registered charity number SCIO: SC049151

. If you already have a will and you want to include a gift to the Lyme Resource Centre in it, you may be able to do so without rewriting your will. You can ask a qualified professional such as a solicitor to add an amendment (called a codicil). As a general rule, if the change you wish to make is quite small or simple, you can use a codicil, and if the change is more significant or complex you should make a new will.

By leaving a gift in your will you will help to create a future where people are more aware of the risks of ticks and Lyme disease.

Your generosity will help LRC minimise risk of Lyme disease whilst enjoying the outdoors, by educating the public and health professionals about ticks and Lyme disease.
