Lord Kerr of Kinlochard, a long-time supporter and Trustee of STACC explains why he has chosen to leave a gift in his will to STACC:
“I send STACC some money every year because as a Trustee I've seen how well it's spent. Strikingly low overheads mean that the great bulk of the money really does go to the Clinics in the field, and our monitoring, supervision and visits confirm that it isn't being wasted. And, of course, the needs are huge.
Some time ago I got round to setting up a Legacy. And with all the enthusiasm of the convert I now believe all our supporters should do so. Why? Because it's logical: the diseases we've been wanting to help fight will still be threatening children when we've gone: why should our help stop?
And it's cost-effective: your estate's value, and hence liability for Inheritance Tax at 40%, will be reduced by the full amount of all charitable donations. And it's easy: all you need to remember to put in the Will is our name, our Charity Number (SCO20553), and the amount you want to leave us.”
Please do think about following Lord Kerr’s example by leaving a gift in your will to STACC once you have made the necessary provision for those closest to you. If you require any further information or would like to speak to someone,
