Because the change we work for — governments held to account, young people given a genuine stage, communities equipped to lead their own projects — takes decades, not years. A legacy gift is a way of backing that long game.
Leave a Legacy
A gift that outlasts you.
A gift in your will costs you nothing in your lifetime — but it can fund the platform, the research, or the project that changes a child’s future long after you’re gone. It’s one of the most significant ways anyone can support children’s rights, and it doesn’t require wealth, only intention.
Why people choose to leave a legacy
The tax position
Gifts left to registered charities in your will are usually exempt from Inheritance Tax, and leaving 10% or more of your estate to charity can reduce the Inheritance Tax rate on the rest of your estate. We’d always recommend anyone considering a legacy gift speaks to a solicitor or financial adviser about what’s right for their own estate.

Let us know
If you’ve already included KidsRights UK in your will, or you’re considering it, we’d love to hear from you — not so we can chase anything, but so we can say thank you properly, and keep you updated on the impact your future gift will help create.
