LEAVING A GIFT IN YOUR WILL 

My name is Rebecca Gebbie and I am the Mission to Seafarers’ legacy officer. I work with solicitors and executors to make sure that when you leave us a gift in your Will, your wishes are properly carried out and your compassion lives on through our charitable work.

We all know now how important it is to make our wishes clear. Once you have taken care of family and dear friends, I hope you consider remembering The Mission to Seafarers in your Will. If you do, it is my job to ensure your wishes are carried out and your kindness lives on through our daily work.

To give you the reassurance that we know how big and private a decision this is and also how much we appreciate your support we will make the following promises to you:

1. We recognise that your Will is a private decision and we will respect your privacy in making it.

2. We know that your family and friends will always come first and we would never try and change that.

3. We recognise that this is a big decision and that you need to make it in your own time.

4. We would love to hear if you have left a gift in your Will, however we never expect you to tell us how much or even tell us at all.

5. We will use your gift wisely and cost efficiently. If there is an area that is special to you we can even arrange for it to be spent there.

6. We want you to have the opportunity to be connected with The Mission to Seafarers so we will keep you up to date with our work. If you don’t want to hear from us at all then we will respect that decision.

7. We appreciate that your circumstances may change and that you have the right to change your mind.

If you are thinking about remembering The Mission to Seafarers in your Will, I am always available to talk to you on 0207 246 2917 or you can contact me by email.

We have also put together a glossary of terms as well as a codicil form to make it easier for you to remember the Mission.
