An enduring gift to RDA can be made as a bequest, and may be as simple as adding a codicil to your will, but seek advice from your solicitor.

RDA enriches the lives of people with disabilities through its caring and committed volunteers. You may have owned, ridden and loved horses, and thus have a natural affinity for Riding for the Disabled as opens the world of horses to people with disabilities.

A bequest to Riding for the Disabled may be made in several ways:

• As a specific bequest of a particular amount, or of a particular item such as a work of art, shares, investments, etc
• Of your entire estate, or a specified percentage (after all debts and expenses have been paid)
• As a residual bequest, which is the remainder after all other gifts and expenses are paid
• After a life interest, when a property, such as a farm, is left to a beneficiary to occupy or receive income from in their lifetime, then passes to RDA

You may also state a preference for the way your bequest to RDA will be used, such as a trust or in someone's memory, or for a particular program or RDA centre. Trusts can be perpetual.

We recommend you discuss your needs with your solicitor when drawing up a will or codicil. You may also wish to discuss your intentions with us to ensure we will be able to honour your gift correctly.

You don't have to tell us if you have made, or intend to make, a bequest to RDA in your will.  But we'd be happy to hear from you if you wish to tell us as we would like to keep you well-informed about our activities and to be able to thank you for your intended gift.
