Leave a legacy gift in your Will

Legacy donations make up one fifth of all funding for Scottish charities.

Gifts in Wills play a vital role in enabling Ayrshire Cancer Support to continue to provide our wide range of free services, including essential patient transport journeys and our drop-in centre.


As demand for our services grow, donations - including legacy donations - enable us to ensure that everyone in Ayrshire who needs support, receives it.

A legacy donation is a gift that you can leave to a charity of your choice in your will.


A legacy donation means that you will make a difference beyond your lifetime.


Whatever amount you decide to gift, your legacy will be one to be proud of.

Make a difference

Leaving a legacy gift to Ayrshire Cancer Support will mean we are able to continue helping people in need and will ensure future generations can turn to us for life-changing cancer support.


Tax relief

Leaving a gift in your Will may be tax efficient as such gifts are exempt from inheritance tax. A gift to charity might reduce your tax liability (check with your solicitor for advice).

The most common gifts are:

Residuary gift: The remainder or a percentage of your estate after other bequests and expenses, which adjusts for inflation.

Pecuniary gift: A specified sum of money, which may lose value due to inflation.

Specific gift: A particular item, like a property, jewellery, or other valuables.


To leave a Legacy in your Will to Ayrshire Cancer Support, all you need to provide your solicitor with is:


Name of Charity: Ayrshire Cancer Support

Registered Charity Number: SCO16098

Company Number: SC110196

Address: 5 Dundonald Road,

Kilmarnock, KA1 1EQ
