A gift in your will lets more animals find their forever home

If you’ve had an animal in your your life you’ll know there’s a love between you that’s hard to put into words. A love that can live on, in your will.

A gift to the York Animal Home in your will means more animals and people will have the chance to find that special bond for themselves. It helps us care for every animal who comes through our doors, until tthey make that perfect match with someone who’ll love and care for them for the rest of their lives. You make it happen when you leave a gift to us in your will. Every gift, regardless of size, helps us makes a difference. 

Remembering us in your will

It costs our branch over £1 million to keep our doors open each year. Some people want to help our animal welfare work by leaving a gift in their will. This is an easy way to help local animals in distress and help you maintain the service for future years.

It is very important that you specify that the gift should be bequeathed to the RSPCA York, Harrogate & District Branch so that local animals will benefit from your generosity. If you want to leave a gift in your will to our branch, it is very important you use the wording below, otherwise your gift will go to the National RSPCA.

How to leave a gift to our branch

If it is your wish to leave a gift in your will please clearly indicate your wishes by using the wording detailed on the right hand side:

I give the sum of ________ (or specify a share of residue) to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals York, Harrogate and District Branch (registered charity number 232222) and I declare that the receipt of the honorary treasurer or other proper officer of the said Branch shall be a full and sufficient discharge of the said legacy.
