Leave a Lasting Legacy
Leave a Lasting Legacy
At Child Rescue Nepal, funds from legacies are vital to our very survival. We would love as many people as possible to do something legendary by leaving a gift in their Will to ensure we can continue to rescue and care for forgotten children in Nepal.
To proceed you need to make a Will, or update an existing Will. You can use any solicitor, which you can find by searching via the Law Society.
The type of legacy you bequeath will vary according to your circumstances and personal wishes. These are the ones you will hear about most often:
Pecuniary Legacy
A pecuniary legacy is a gift of a fixed sum of money, for example £5,000. The value of pecuniary legacies will decrease over time, as the cost of living increases.
Seek legal advice
It is imperative that you take professional legal advice and that your Will is carefully worded to ensure that your wishes are observed appropriately. We would be very happy to discuss with you the ways in which your legacy to Child Rescue Nepal could be used.
Please feel free to contact us at: info@www.childrescuenepal.org or by calling 020 7183 0353.
Residuary Legacy
This is a gift of the remainder or percentage of your estate once all other legacies have been made and any outstanding debts cleared. These legacies are best for a small charity like ourselves. Residuary legacies keep up with inflation and are an effective way to divide the value of an estate when you have a number of people and good causes you wish to support.
Specific Legacy
If you decide to bequeath a specific item or object – such as a piece of jewellery, for example – this is a specific legacy.
Testimony from Andrea Hosker, who has chosen to leave Child Rescue Nepal a legacy in her Will:
“We have long term involvement in at least 15 other charities, all of which approached us. Child Rescue Nepal is the only one I took the initiative with and contacted to ask for participation; a positive rather than a passive step. We are in the process of updating our wills and have selected four of our charities to benefit when we die. It hasn’t been easy! CRN was one of our choices because you seem to be able to do great good out of very little. We’re happy for the gifts from our wills to be used where the charity judges the needs are most pressing. We make no caveats and have confidence in the team’s integrity and experience in a field which we’re merely glimpsing 2nd or 3rd hand.”

Other Ways To Give
- Payroll Giving (also known as Give As You Earn) is a tax efficient way for UK Income Tax payers to donate to chosen charities. Donations are deducted before tax so each £1.00 you give will only cost you 80p, and if you’re a higher rate tax payer it will only cost you 60p.You can set up a donation from your pay very easily by completing a payroll giving form online. If you have a friendly employer you may be able to ask for a matching grant to the trust. Download the Give As You Earn Donor Instruction Form.
- If your workplace, school or community group has a charity of the year, please consider nominating us.
- Recycle your printer cartridges rather than just throwing them away. Go to Recycle 4 Charity and register – selecting Child Rescue Nepal as your charity. Each ink cartridge could raise over £1 each to help us. Why not get your place of work involved too? You just print a prepaid postage label and send the ink cartridges back for recycling. You’re helping the environment as well as helping us.
- Billions of greeting cards are thrown away each year. Why not save time, help the environment and help us by sending an e-card instead? Don’t Send Me a Card offer a choice of cards for every occasion and you can donate the cost to Child Rescue Nepal.
If you’re looking for inspiration, here are some more fundraising ideas:
- Organise your own fundraising auction. Ask people to donate items or auction off their skills for a day!
- Sponsored bike ride
- Cake sale
- Coffee morning
- Hold a fashion show
- Organise a fun run
- Host an international themed evening with Nepali decorations, food and music. Why not add in a quiz or raffle to round off the evening? Don’t forget to charge an entry fee!
Volunteering
We welcome volunteers in our London office but unfortunately we don’t offer placements in Nepal due to the vulnerability of the children we work with. We are also very aware of fake orphanages and the dangers of ‘voluntourism‘.
Here are some other organisations that offer volunteer placements in Nepal:
Radio 4 Appeals
HAVE YOU JUST LISTENED TO OUR BBC RADIO 4 APPEAL WITH SIR RICHARD STILGOE?
In it, you will have heard the heart-breaking story of Ram, whose life was turned upside down when he was trafficked to the capital city of Kathmandu.
We rescue children like Ram and take them to a place of safety. Ram is now working as a chef, but there are thousands more in Nepal who need our help. Your donation will help us to rescue and care for more children.
Listen to Sir Richard Stilgoe’s Radio 4 Appeal here.
And don’t forget, every donation up to £20,000 will be doubled – so twenty pounds becomes forty and forty pounds becomes eighty.
RAM
We love this photo of Ram in his kitchen. After his rescue, he was given a second chance at life – and he seized it with both hands. Listen to Ram’s story here.
BBC Radio Appeal 2020
Have you listened to our BBC Radio 4 Appeal with journalist Thomas Bell?
In it, you will have heard the heart-breaking story of Sanjay, whose life was turned upside down when he was trafficked to the capital city of Kathmandu.
We rescue children like Sanjay and take them to a place of safety. Sanjay is safe now, but there are thousands more in Nepal who need our help. Your donation will help us to rescue more children. You can listen to the Radio 4 appeal here.
BBC Radio Appeal 2017
In April 2017 our Radio 4 Appeal was presented by Joanna Lumley. You can listen again here.
