For over 70 years, BGS members have been at the forefront of providing excellent healthcare for older people. To ensure the BGS and our members can keep delivering this vital work, we are asking you to help us by leaving a gift in your will.
Leaving a gift in your will will help secure the future of the BGS. Your gift will make it possible for future members to access the best research, grants and career development opportunities so that they can continue to transform care for future generations of older people across the UK.
Gifts in wills have already supported important areas of our work
Generous gifts have enabled us to offer research grants, fellowships and prizes. Our website was funded by someone remembering us in their will, helping us make information and resources more accessible to members, students, other healthcare professionals and policy makers.
How to leave a gift in your will to the BGS
If you decide to include the BGS in your will, you can ask your solicitor or professional advisor to do this by giving them the following details:
The British Geriatrics Society
Registered office:
Marjory Warren House
31 St John’s Square
London
EC1M 4DN
Registered charity number: 268762
It is entirely up to you whether you tell us that you are remembering the BGS in your will. You simply have to tell your solicitor or professional adviser how much you would like to leave to the Society. You could choose to leave the BGS a cash sum or a percentage of your estate.
Your legacy, our promise
- We recognise that when you prepare your will, your family and loved ones must come first
- We promise to use your gift wisely
- If you want BGS to dedicate your gift to an area of our work that’s special to you, we are happy to discuss this with you
- If you tell us you have left a gift in your will to BGS, we would love to discuss ways we can say a simple ‘thank you’
- We will never ask you to share information about the value or type of gift you have chosen to leave to BGS
- We know that personal circumstances change, and there might be a time when you decide you need to take BGS out of your will
Thank you.
