The Embers Programme
Glowing hot, as hot as the fire that created them, embers radiate heat long after the fire has gone out, and can rekindle a fire that is thought to be extinguished.
It’s common knowledge that if you currently gift money, assets or valuables seven years before you die you can benefit from inheritance tax relief. And, by reducing the size of your estate through giving away some of your assets during your lifetime, it is possible to reduce the amount of inheritance tax due on your death. Many people therefore consider making annual gifts as part of their tax planning strategy.
However, there is a balance to strike between committing resources to charitable causes during your lifetime and leaving money to charity in your will ‑ it’s a choice between lifetime giving or legacy giving.
Giving while living allows you the chance to see the difference your contribution is making and to actively support the cause.
If that’s you, then you can make a one-off donation online. Or call us, we can arrange to discuss your plans in detail and to find ways to ensure that your gift creates the legacy you’re looking for.

However, many people who like to be generous to charities are also concerned about their own savings, in which case legacy giving may be more appropriate.
