Gifts in Will

With a gift in your Will, you can create opportunities for MND research.

Leaving a gift in your Will (legacy) can be a powerful way to make a contribution to the lives of people living with motor neuron disease (MND). 


What can my gift support? 

By leaving a gift in your Will to the Euan MacDonald Centre you can help support the research needed to discover treatments to slow, stop and ultimately reverse the effects of MND and associated conditions.  

Gifts through Wills are administered by the University of Edinburgh Development Trust who will ensure the donation gets to the Euan MacDonald Centre in full. 


Tax benefits 

Legacies to registered charities are, in most instances, tax free and will reduce the inheritance tax burden on your estate, as well as providing vital support. Contact us for assistance and more details about how to leave a gift in your Will.
