Legacies Who will remember the Charge? I WILL - Leave a legacy to Christ's Hospital Why leave a legacy? Legacies play a vital role in our fundraising and by choosing to remember Christ’s Hospital in your Will, you are helping to open doors for future generations, offering them the remarkable chance to benefit from all that a CH education brings. Every gift, whatever its size, is deeply valued. Aside from the impact such gifts have on Christ's Hospital, legacy bequests are free from inheritance tax, and gifts of shares and property are exempt from capital gains tax. How do I leave a gift in my Will to Christ's Hospital? Leaving a legacy to Christ's Hospital is straightforward and the simplest way of giving is to leave a Residuary Gift in your Will. Further information on what you can leave to CH can be found in our Legacy leaflet.
