We are committed to offering lifelong adoption support to all our families. What many people don’t realise, is that we don’t receive funding from local authorities for this vital service when a child in their care is adopted through us.
We allocate a portion of the local authority adoption fees we receive when a child is adopted to support our families, but that’s not enough to cover the full cost of the adoption support our families need.
When you leave a gift in your Will to St. Andrew’s Children’s Society, you’re helping us to continue to offer our families the adoption support they need, whenever they need it.
If you want to leave us a gift in your Will, you can leave a modest cash sum or small percentage, which means those closest to you are still your main inheritors.
We would be very grateful and use it wisely.
There is no need for you to tell us of your intentions, and you can state in your Will if you would like your gift used for a specific purpose.
Everyone has the right to change their mind, so if you leave a gift to us in your Will, you can remove it at any time
A solicitor will be able to advise you on how to add St. Andrew’s Children’s Society as a beneficiary to your Will. They may use a codicil, which is a legal document that is used to make changes or alterations to an existing Will.
To leave us a gift in your Will, please ensure the St. Andrew’s Children’s Society name, address and charity number are included as below:
St. Andrew’s Children’s Society
7 John’s Place
Edinburgh
EH6 7EL
Scottish Charity Number SC005754
We would advise you to use a professional Will writing service to ensure your wishes are properly carried out.
