Leave a gift in your Will
Your legacy donation could be the change that ends the pain and suffering caused by eating disorders.
What do you want the future to look like for people affected by eating disorders?
Legacy gifts help us to make lasting changes to the lives of people affected by eating disorders. They mean that we can support everyone who needs us long into the future, so that nobody has to suffer alone. They help us make systemic changes - from equipping teachers and healthcare professionals to spot the early signs, to pushing for change in the government and NHS.
People remember us in their will for many reasons - whether in memory of a loved one, or in celebration of recovery - every gift helps us to end the pain and suffering caused by eating disorders.
As a one time carer for someone with an eating disorder, I benefited enormously from the Beat services and I feel very strongly that Beat’s work is both vital and unique. By giving them a bit of extra help in the future, I hope that other carers like me will be able to cope better, and lives might be saved as a result.

How to leave a gift in your will
Here’s the basics of leaving us a gift in your Will:
- State in your Will that you would like to leave a gift to us. We always recommend using a solicitor or a professional Will-writer to make sure that your Will is both legal and valid.
- Amend your existing Will by completing a Codicil Form available from your solicitor.
- Include our full name and charity number to make sure the gift is made to the right place.
There are different ways you can leave us a gift in your Will:
- A 'residuary gift'. After you’ve provided for your family and friends you can leave a share or the remainder of your estate to us.
- A ‘pecuniary gift’. This is a gift of an exact sum of money.
- A specific gift - a possession that you’d like to leave to us.
