Legacy Giving

Where there’s a Will there’s a Way

Will you leave us a gift in your Will? Are you a lifelong friend of seafarers? A gift to us in your Will is a natural conclusion to a lifetime of support. It is your lasting gift.

A gift to Apostleship of the Sea will enable us to continue our valuable work supporting seafarers. Even if you cannot afford to give regular gifts in your lifetime, you may find you are able to leave a gift in your Will.

There are three types of gifts that you can bequest:

Residuary Gift

This gift represents the remainder of your estate after all other gifts and bequests have been honoured and any other debts paid off.

Pecuniary Gift

This option enables you to leave a fixed sum of money to us. Your solicitor can advise you about index-linking such gifts to preserve their value in the future.

Specific Gift

This option means that you can leave a specific tangeable item such as a house, piece of jewellery, antique or car as a gift.

The Legal Bit:

Due to constantly changing legal practice we prefer not to become involved in the wording for your Will or Codicil, as we are not legal experts.  We always recommend you seek legal advice from a solicitor when drawing up or making changes to your Will.  They will know the current correct wording to allow you to leave your gift correctly.

A professionally written Will gives you peace of mind and ensures your wishes are carried out.

We understand making a Will is a very personal matter.  However, to enable us plan for the future, it would be helpful to know whether you intend to remember us in your Will or if you have already done so.

If you would like to let us know about your future intentions you can download and print out a pdf copy of our pledge form by clicking here. We are aware that your circumstances may change and so the details you give us will in no way obligate you, it is purely for our records. Please also be assured that we hold all information in strict confidence and will never share it with other charities or organisations.

Please remember Apostleship of the Sea in your Will to allow us to continue our vital support of seafarers.
