Support us Leave A Gift In Your Will One of the most powerful ways to help transform opportunities for deaf children is by leaving a gift in your Will. By doing so, you can support more deaf babies and children to have the same opportunities in life as their hearing friends. Every gift, no matter how big or small, profoundly impacts the lives of the deaf children and families we support. Your legacy gift can be the reason deaf babies and children will be able to learn to listen and speak. Right now, over 90% of deaf children in the UK who could benefit from Auditory Verbal therapy are unable to access it. Every penny of a gift in your Will, will support our mission to enable more deaf babies and children to access this specialist support, both now and in the future. Most donors choose to leave a residuary legacy, which is a percentage of the remaining estate after family and friends have been provided for. You can also leave a pecuniary gift, which specifies an amount of money or item such as stocks or real estate.

We could not have got through this without the support of our loving family, Teacher of the Deaf and of course AVUK.”Mia’s Mum, Rayan The only information you or your advisor need to leave a gift in your will is our full charity name and charity registration number: Charity name: Auditory Verbal UK Charity registration number (England and Wales): 1095133 Charity registration number (Scotland): SC052499 An example of wording you could use: I leave my / X share (s) of my residuary estate for Auditory Verbal UK, registered charity number 1095133 (England and Wales) and SC052499 (Scotland), absolutely for its general charitable purposes and I declare that the receipt of the treasurer or other proper officer for the time being shall be a sufficient discharge to my executors.
