Leave a gift in your will

Every year, animals arrive at Holbrook who need urgent help—whether they’ve been abandoned, neglected, or their owners can no longer care for them.

A gift in your Will could:

Provide food, warmth, and shelter to animals arriving in need.
Fund veterinary treatment and rehabilitation for those with complex medical conditions.
Help us find loving, permanent homes where dogs and cats can thrive.
Support education and outreach to enhance animal welfare beyond our rescue centre.

Your kindness will live on, offering second chances for years to come.

How to Leave a Gift in Your Will

Leaving a legacy is simple. You can choose to give:

A share of your estate (residuary gift) — a percentage of what’s left after loved ones are provided for.
A fixed sum of money (pecuniary gift).

We recommend speaking to a solicitor to ensure your wishes are carried out.

Suggested wording for your Will

“I give [insert amount/percentage/item] to Holbrook Animal Rescue, Old Holbrook, Horsham, RH12 4TW (Registered Charity Number 1181456), for its general charitable purposes, and I declare that the receipt of the Treasurer or other proper officer shall be a full and sufficient discharge to my Executors.”

Updating Your Will

If you have already made a Will and would like to add Holbrook Animal Rescue as a beneficiary, a simple codicil (amendment) can be added – we have a form you can use (click here).

If you need a solicitor to help with this, you can find one through lawsociety.org.uk.

There is also free advice for making a Will at moneysavingexpert.com – search for “wills.”
