A gift in your Will means so much to the RSN. Throughout our history gifts in Wills have helped RSN students and our courses. 

Just this week we heard that one of our Life Friends had died and generously left us £5,000. This is very much appreciated and really gives us something to remember her by so that her RSN connection can live on. This money will go to support our Future Tutor Students, but a gift could support any of our future projects.

It is now much simpler to make an amendment to your Will, although it should always be undertaken by a professional to ensure it is legally binding and truly represents your wishes. 

There are three main ways you can support the RSN through your Will.

1. You can give a residuary gift. This is all or a share of the residue of your estate after any specific gifts have been dispersed. This can help you offset any tax that would otherwise be due on the estate and give it to a good cause.

2. A pecuniary gift. This is a specific named amount. However, the value of this will diminish over time.

3. A specific item. While the RSN might accept threads/materials and embroidered works, the money they raise for the RSN is usually very small.  Only high quality or unusual items can be added to the RSN Collection.

A gift in your Will is a great way to witness your life and interests and make a significant contribution to the future of RSN Students.
