Remember us in your Will

Gifts in your Will to charities like Wikimedia UK are exempt from Inheritance Tax. If you decide to leave10% or more of your estate to charity will also mean that your whole estate benefits from a reduced level of Inheritance Tax. You can read more about this on the HMRC website

When leaving a gift to Wikimedia UK in your Will, it is important to use our full name, address and Charity number which is:

• Wikimedia UK, c/o The British Library, Floor 4 Room 46018, 96 Euston Road, London NW1 2DB, Registered Charity No.1144513.

Bequests: Estate and specific gifts

There are two main ways to leave a gift in your will - you can specify a percentage of the value of your estate, or leave a specific gift or sum. Some example wording you could use in making these sorts of bequests would be:

• I give **% of the residue of my real and personal estate which I can dispose of by Will in any manner I think proper to Wikimedia UK, Development House, 56 - 64 Leonard Street, London, EC2A 4LT, Registered Charity No.1144513 and the receipt of the Treasurer or the proper officer for the time being of Wikimedia UK shall be a complete discharge to my Executors.

or if you wish to leave a specific sum:

• I give the sum of £** pounds to Wikimedia UK, Development House, 56 - 64 Leonard Street, London, EC2A 4LT, Registered Charity No.1144513 and the receipt of the Treasurer or other proper officer for the time being of Wikimedia UK shall be a complete discharge to my Executors.
