A Legacy

Violet Needham gave lifelong service to the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge. In her will she left a considerable legacy to be used to support women preparing for ordination. SPCK Worldwide decided that the Li Tim-Oi Foundation should administer these funds, and Ms Sue Parks, its then Director, became a Trustee.

The Rev Linda Woolhouse, one of the first Church of England women priests, has also left the Foundation a large legacy because she was inspired by the ministry of women she experienced in Tanzania, and recognised that the Foundation was the best instrument to empower them. Her niece and co-executor, Katy Baylis, has become a Trustee. Linda also left her money to fund a visit to Tanzania in due course. Would you like to copy their examples, and make the Foundation a beneficiary in your Will ? A simple Codicil is all that is needed.

This generous legacies have greatly subsidised the Foundation, but the funds are now totally committed. The Foundation needs lifelong supporters, but would be glad to know that they want their support to continue beyond the grave.

The advice of a lawyer may be sought, though a suggested wording for a Codicil to an existing will can be downloaded here.
