Every penny of your donation goes to IRC-UK. You will not be charged for sending the text. You will also have the opportunity to Gift Aid your donation, increasing the value of your donation by 25% at no extra cost to you. We use your donations as efficiently as possible – 90% of all donations goes directly towards our work in the field.
Leave a gift in your will
You will, of course, want to make sure you take care of your loved ones in your Will first and foremost. One way to help International Rescue Committee UK as well is by leaving a gift in your Will which constitutes a percentage of whatever is left once you have taken care of your family and friends. IRC-UK recommends that, in order to ensure everything is carried out as you would wish, you consult a solicitor or other professional advice when writing or updating your Will.
If you would like to leave a gift in your Will, you can use the wording: “I leave ______________ to International Rescue Committee UK (registered charity number 1065972), 11 Gower Street, London WC1E 6HB.”
