The Bristol Area Stroke Foundation, like many other small charities, is reliant on donations, legacies, fundraising events and the kindness of volunteers, to enable us to continue to provide our much needed services to those affected by stroke in Bristol and South Gloucestershire.

If you would like to make a donation, please make your cheque payable to The Bristol Area Stroke Foundation. You will receive acknowledgement of your donation within one week.

If you are a tax payer, please print off and complete this Gift Aid Reclaim Form and enclose it together with your cheque.

LEGACIES

Have you considered leaving a Legacy?

About 40 years ago I left Bath University, so you will appreciate how surprised I was to receive in the post, just after my 60th birthday, a letter and booklet requesting that I consider leaving in my 'will' a legacy/gift for the University. Having looked at this booklet I felt it was such a good idea and a very special way to say 'thank-you' for the support during my student days.

If you have personally suffered a stroke, as I have or have an interest in stroke, you may like to consider doing something similar for BASF. It is also a special way of remembering your friends and others in a similar situation.

A legacy can be made to provide funds for supporting the running costs of services to stroke affected individuals and their family or to support a local stroke group.

Whatever age you are it is important to make a will to ensure that your wishes are carried out. Professional advice is worth taking to make sure you get the most benefit when completing your will. It is also worth remembering that gifts to a charity can be tax-free.
