LEGACIES
A legacy or bequest would provide crucial funds – we could not carry out our work without such generous support.
Leave a gift in your will
The Wirral & Chester Branch of the RSPCA is a separately registered charity and relies on public support to enable us to continue caring and rescuing animals in the Wirral and Chester areas.
If you are considering a legacy to Wirral & Chester RSPCA in your will, please remember that all the local RSPCA branches are separately registered charities and have their own charity numbers.
​
So if you would like the animals in your local area to benefit, please ensure that your intended legacy goes to "RSPCA Wirral & Chester Branch".
​
An example of suitable wording is given below:
​
'I give £_________ to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Wirral & Chester Branch, registered charity number 219766 and I declare that the receipt of the Honorary Treasurer or other proper officer for the time being of the said Branch shall be a full and sufficient discharge for the said legacy'
​
If you have already made a Will and would like to leave a legacy to Wirral & Chester RSPCA, your solicitor or legal advisor can advise you how to include an additional section (a “Codicil”) similar to the one above.
