Will Legacy

Little Hiccups is committed to being there for those who need us. If you decide to leave us a gift in your will, you will be helping people in our community.

Every single gift is vital to Little Hiccups and the work. We appreciate any legacy you may choose to leave us after taking care of your family and loved ones. Whatever the value of your gift, it will go a long way to help someone who needs us.

Just so you know, there is no obligation to leave a gift to us if you use our service. But if you did include Little Hiccups in your Will, you’d be part of a community that’s supporting families living with disabilities.

Your gift to Little Hiccups could help our vital work in enabling people with disabilities with the #NoLimits ethos and help them #MakingMemories.

How to leave a gift in your will

Having a will and keeping it up-to-date helps ensure that your wishes can be respected and your legacy benefits people and causes you really care about. We would always recommend that you speak to a qualified professional such as a solicitor, when making or amending your will.

Your solicitor will be able to advise you on the required wording to carry out your wishes. If you wish to leave a gift to Little Hiccups in your will, all you need is our charity details below:

Name: Little Hiccups
Charity number: England and Wales (1170147)
Address: The Barrowbys, 170 Barrowby Lane, Garforth, Leeds, LS25 1NG

The suggested legal wording below ensures that your gift to Little Hiccups will be used in accordance with your wishes.

I give the sum of £_____ to Little Hiccups (Registered Charity Number 1170147) 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 this gift.

If you already have a will

If you already have a will and you want to include a gift to Little Hiccups in it, there may not be a need to rewrite it. 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.

What kind of gift can I leave to Little Hiccups?

You can leave a specific sum of money or an item such as jewellery or a piece of art. Alternatively you can leave a share in, or all of, what’s left of the value of your estate after family and loved ones have been taken care of. The advantage of leaving a share (also known as residuary gift) is that it remains the same over time, and you won’t need to change your will to keep up with inflation. When discussing your will with a professional they may use the following terms:

A residuary gift is a percentage of your estate once any specified gifts have been made to friends and family. The value will be dependent on the value of your estate at any given time rather than a set amount. This provides more flexibility when deciding how to ensure that your 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.

If you already have a Will and would like to update it to include a gift to Little Hiccups, we have a downloadable codicil form to use to do this. Completed codicil forms should be kept with your Will – talk to your solicitor to find out more.
