Gift in Will
Why a gift in your will means so much
We've been caring for animals in Derby for over 150 years, and sadly, they'll continue to need us for many more years to come. We're an independent, self-funded charity, receiving no funding from the government or the national RSPCA, so gifts like these are essential to our future.
In the last decade alone, we've rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed over 7500 animals. As the number of animals needing our help keeps growing, gifts in wills help us make sure we're still here for them.
The impact of a gift
Our centre on Abbey Street is small, so we're always finding new ways to make the most of our space. A gift left to us in a will helped us convert an old store room into a vet room where our animals have their check-ups and treatments.
Whatever size gift you're able to leave, it will help improve the lives of the animals who need us most.
The kind of gift you can leave
There are a few ways to leave a gift to RSPCA Derby in your will, and your solicitor can talk you through what suits your circumstances:
A share of your estate (a residuary gift)
A fixed sum of money (a pecuniary gift)
An item of value (a specific gift)
"I wanted to support a local centre"
"I am passionate about the welfare of animals, especially dogs, as they’ve been part of my family for many years. I particularly wanted to support a local centre so there would be an impact in the area where I live. Derby RSPCA are self funded so I decided to help them continue their amazing work. That's why I have left them a gift in my will." - Lisa, RSPCA Derby supporter
