MOLLY OLLYS
LEGACY GIFTS
Leave a Legacy Gift
Molly Ollys is very fortunate to have received legacies from families of friends and supporters, and those the Charity has helped.
We are extremely grateful that in such dark times, these donors think of others who are suffering and are generously wishing to help.
We are delighted also that some of our supporters wish to pledge that they will leave a charitable legacy to Molly Ollys in their wills, and we extend our huge gratitude to these people too. It is very pleasing for us that we can thank these supporters during their lifetimes.
All of these donors are very special Friends of Olly The Brave.

How to Arrange a Legacy Gift
A legacy bequest enables you to support Molly Olly’s Wishes in a way which may not be practical or possible during your lifetime. It can be arranged easily, either by including your bequest in a new will, or adding it as a codicil to an existing will.
There are several types of legacy, the most common being a pecuniary legacy which defines a specific sum to be left to a particular recipient, for example our Charity. There are other types also, and we recommend that you seek professional legal advice to decide what is right for you.
It is worth knowing that legacy giving is highly tax-effective as it reduces the overall Inheritance Tax on your estate and is free of Capital Gains Tax and Income Tax.
Any legacy is much appreciated by us, irrespective of size, but in deciding you may wish to be aware how much our help to children with life threatening or life limiting illnesses costs.

HELP MAKE WISHES COME TRUE
Current data suggests that 12 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer every day, and that 1,900 children under the age of 14 in the UK are diagnosed each year.
More children are diagnosed with a range of other, often rare, conditions and illnesses that are also life-threatening.
Molly Ollys is committed to helping as many of these children and their families as possible, and works hard to raise the necessary funds to be able to help those who contact us.
You can help us do this by making a donation, joining in with our fundraising events, running your own events, using Give as You Live when you are shopping, and by leaving a legacy in your will. Please visit our How you can help page to find out more.
