Legacies and Donations

Legacies
Leaving the Scout Association County of Birmingham a gift in your Will is a great way to help to ensure that we can continue our important role in helping the ongoing work we undertake with and for the young people in Birmingham. If you would like to remember the Scout Association County of Birmingham in your Will there are three main types of gifts you can make:

Residual Gift – is the gift of part (or all) of the value of your estate after debts, liabilities and other legacies have been paid.
Pecuniary Gift – is the sum of a particular sum of money.
Specific Gift – is the gift of a specific item that could for example be property, furniture, a painting or a piece of jewellery.
