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.”

- If you shop regularly on Amazon, why not register with Amazon Smile. All you have to do is select Child Rescue Nepal and then carry on with your Amazon shopping. Child Rescue Nepal will receive a small donation from every eligible purchase at no extra cost to you!
- 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.

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
BBC Radio 4 Appeal 2023
On Sunday 5th November Sir Richard Stilgoe will be broadcasting a BBC Radio 4 Appeal on behalf of Child Rescue Nepal. He is one of our ambassadors and visited our work in Nepal in 2017. The appeal goes out at 7.54am and 9.25pm on Radio 4 and we need your help to spread the word.
Please tune in and tell your friends, neighbours, colleagues and family so that we can rescue and care for even more children in 2024.
And thanks to a very generous trust, every donation up to £20,000 will be doubled – so twenty pounds becomes forty and forty pounds becomes eighty.
BBC Radio Appeal 2020
In August 2020 our Radio 4 Appeal was presented by journalist Thomas Bell. You can listen again here.
