For nearly 30 years, NEF has been promoting social, economic and environmental justice by working with grassroots movements, practitioners and policy makers in the UK and beyond. Our ground-breaking research underpins the urgent need for a new economy, but we need your help to make it a reality.

Considering a gift for NEF in your will, after having thought of your loved ones first, will ensure that we can continue the important work we are doing into the future. Together we can create a fairer economics that puts people and the planet first.

How to leave NEF a gift in your will

There are two main types of gifts that you can leave in your will to NEF:

• You can leave a specific sum of money or an item such as jewellery or a piece of art (pecuniary legacy).

• You can leave a share in, or all of, what’s left of the value of your estate after all bills have been paid and all other legacies have been distributed (residuary legacy).

If you would like to add a gift to NEF to an existing will, you can use a codicil. Adding a codicil to your will means there is no need to change the terms of your current will. It simply adds a new instruction.

As a rule if the change you wish to make is quite small or simple, you can use a codicil, and if the change is more significant or complex you should make a new will. Please keep in mind that you should always seek professional legal advice or consult with your solicitor before making any changes to your will.

Leaving NEF a gift in your will would help to build a better world for future generations to inherit. One where the economy works for people and the planet. Where communities work together for a fair, prosperous and sustainable society.
