Legacies
Thank you for considering leaving a legacy to the BUAV. With over 50% of our income coming from legacies, your kind gift is vital to help us achieve our goal of creating a world free from animal testing.
A legacy from you could help us:
-
inform and challenge beliefs by exposing the reality of animal experiments through our investigations
-
change policy and legislation by influencing decision makers
-
campaign for the development of alternative research methods
-
assert the entitlement of animals to lives free from suffering, confinement and abuse
The easiest way to set up a legacy with the BUAV is to get in touch with our Legacy Officer, Angela Bunting on 0300 003 0577 or email Angela.Bunting@buav.org (Monday - Thursday inclusive).
Should you have a legacy enquiry outside of these times please contact Julian Littaur, Deputy CEO and Finance Director, on 020 7619 6987 or Julian.Littaur@buav.org.
To find out more about remembering the BUAV in your Will see our FAQ section.
Important Legal Information
While it is a non-profit organisation, the BUAV is unable to gain charitable status. Following a challenge by the Inland Revenue in 1947, the House of Lords ruled that anti-vivisection organisations could not be charitable because their work is deemed not for the ‘public benefit’, one of the criteria necessary to register as a charity.
To include the BUAV in your Will it is important not to infer that we are a charity, as this may cause problems later. In order to avoid any confusion we would suggest that the following wording is used:
“I give to the BUAV (Registered in England as The Campaign To End All Animal Experiments), 16a Crane Grove, London N7 8NN:
-
All the residue of my estate
-
or one (insert share, e.g. ½) share of the residue of my estate
-
or the sum of £(insert sum)
-
or (insert specific gift, e.g. property)
for its purposes, and I direct that the receipt of the Finance Manager or other proper officer of the BUAV shall be a full and sufficient discharge for the said legacy.”
