How to leave a gift to St Mungo's in your Will

There are different ways you can include a gift to St Mungo's in your Will:

  • Residuary gift - leaving a share of your estate to St Mungo's, once your family and friends have been taken care of. This type of gift is easy to add to an existing Will without interfering with any specific sums you may have left to your family or friends. It also has the added advantage that it will not be eroded in value by inflation over the years.
  • Pecuniary gift - a specified amount of money or possession left to St Mungo's. The value of this type of gift changes over the years, and you may need to alter your will periodically to keep up with inflation.
  • Reversionary gift allows you to leave your estate to your dependents while they are living, but after they pass away it will revert to St Mungo's.
  • Specific gift is a particular item left to St Mungo's, which can be sold to support our work. For example, the item may be a house, car, piece of jewellery or an antique item.
  • In memory donations - you may wish for your friends and family to make donations to St Mungo's in your memory. We can send you a special form* requesting this, which you can then keep with your Will. We also have special collection envelopes that we can send out to you, simply drop us an email legacies@mungos.org or call us on 020 8762 5677.

Whichever type of gifts you choose to leave to St Mungo's it is absolutely vital to include our full details. Please specify that you are leaving your gift to " St Mungo Community Housing Association, Industrial and Provident Society No 20598R * Housing Association No LH0279". This will guarantee that your gift will reach us.

For more information on creating a Will you can find a solicitor in your area through The Law Society.
