Did you know?
Greyhounds are mentioned in 11 of Shakespeare’s plays
We realise this is a difficult topic, but we rely on donations to keep looking after the greyhounds in our care, helping to get them forever homes. We are completely volunteer led and so any gift you choose to give us in your Will goes directly to supporting hounds on a daily basis, ensuring that we are able to keep doing what we are doing…getting our hounds into wonderful homes with comfy sofas.
There are a number of different bequests you can make:
A Residuary Legacy is one of the best ways you can help Home Run Hounds. The residue of your estate is what's left over once other gifts and payments have been made. This has several advantages: firstly, you know that you have made adequate provision for your loved ones, and that any legal costs will be paid. Secondly, you also know that whatever is left over is going to a wonderful cause - helping us to look after greyhounds in need of homes. You can leave all or part of the residue of your estate to charity.
A Pecuniary Legacy is a specific sum of money. The only disadvantage of leaving a pecuniary legacy is that the value of your gift can decrease over time, as the cost of living increases.
A Residuary Legacy after a partner dies allows you to ensure that a loved one is provided for for the rest of their life. Once this person dies, your legacy will then go to your chosen beneficiaries.
If you would like to make a bequest to us in your Will, we strongly suggest that you take advice from a Solicitor or appropriate Legal representative before making a commitment.
We appreciate legacies of all shapes and sizes and even a small gift will make a big difference in helping us to support all our hounds.
