Leave a gift in your Will

A bequest or legacy, can be the most important gift that you ever give. By including BKFA in your Will, you are helping to ensure that the lives of future generations of women and their babies in developing countries can be saved and improved.

We appreciate that family and loved ones should always come first and believe that it is an important step to talk to them about your Will and let them know of your intentions, should you choose to leave a bequest to BKFA.

Leaving a gift is an important decision but it doesn’t have to be complicated. The basic steps are outlined below:

Make or update your Will

We recommend using a solicitor to make sure your Will is legal and valid. The most important thing is your own peace of mind, so we encourage you to discuss your Will with your legal advisor.

If you would like to include a gift to BKFA in your Will, examples of correct wording can be found below:
