Animal Health Trust - Leave a Legacy

The Animal Health Trust (AHT) produced a free guide offering important information about making or changing a Will, and explaining how a legacy gift can make a lasting difference to animal welfare.

About the Free Will Guide

The Animal Health Trust guide explains, in simple language, why it is important to make a Will and how best to go about it. It also outlines ways in which you can leave a legacy gift to your favourite charities, and how a gift to the AHT can help benefit animals.

The Work of the Animal Health Trust

Disease and injury are among the greatest threats to companion animals, and the AHT works to tackle them. Alongside saving the lives of tens of thousands of individual animals, the charity has contributed significant advances that benefit cats, dogs and horses throughout the world.

• Developed new vaccines
• Pioneered new diagnostic and surgical techniques
• Devised new tests for inherited conditions
• Passed on knowledge to the veterinary profession in the UK and abroad

Why Legacies Matter

With a number of major projects in the planning stage or already underway, including vital research into cancer, lameness and blindness, gifts in Wills are crucial to the AHT's growing programme. Over one third of the charity's voluntary income comes from legacies.
