One way to leave a donation is in your will. It is important to have a will to ensure that you leave your possessions to the people you love, but despite this, a surprisingly high number of people never make a will because they think it is complicated.

Many people chose to remember their favourite charities by leaving a gift in their will. If you plan to make a new will, then all you need to do is include the Anticoagulation UK name, address:

and registered charity number:(1090250)
stating the amount.If you want to leave a gift to ACUK but have already made a will, the simpliest way is to add a codicil document which includes a simple amendment or addition.

We all know how difficult it is when we lose a loved one. One way in which we can acknowledge their passing is a positive way is to make a donation in memoriam, often this will be in lieu of flowers.
If you are making funeral arrangements, you need to provide your funeral director with contact information for the charity and details of how to donate can be included in the order of service. Some people now chose to set up an In memory fundraising page on facebook to share funeral arrangements and charity of choice for donations. If you decide to donate to ACUK, please get in touch or ask your funeral director to contact us and we can provide information about the charity for referencing purposes.
We know how important it is to acknowledge any donations made in memory of others. We can respond to individual donors to thank them personally if we have their contact details. We will send a thank you letter to the deceased representatives approximately 3-4 months after the funeral showing the total of the donations received which can then be shared with friends and family. ACUK can also acknowledge the passing of the person in their magazine and on the website if this meets with the family’s wishes.
