It’s one of those subjects many people find it hard to talk about.

However making a Will is easy and can give much peace of mind to your family and friends, knowing they know your wishes.

All gifts and legacies left to registered charities are free from Inheritance and Capital Gains Tax. You can help others by leaving a lasting legacy - and save Tax - by leaving a gift to Devon Air Ambulance Trust.

Legacies and donations are essential in order to maintain and improve the essential service provided by Devon's Air Ambulances. They are much needed and gratefully received. The Charity’s work is supported by public donations and particularly by the kindness of those who leave legacies.

Why not celebrate your life by creating a better future for those who, one day, may need the life saving skills of the Devon Air Ambulance crew? Your support really can make a difference.  It is a wonderful opportunity to do something positive in your lifetime to make an invaluable contribution to our work in the future.

At the charity we understand we only receive this special donation because of someone's loss. We do understand and endeavour to deal with these sorts of donations and the families making them with sensitivity, care and compassion.

Your legacy will make a lasting difference - so the Devon Air Ambulances will be there to serve the community of the future.

There are several different ways you can support your Air Ambulance in your Will:
Residual Gift:

After making provision for your family and friends, you leave a proportion of your estate, to the Devon Air Ambulance Trust.

Monetary Gift:

By leaving a specific amount as a cash donation to our charity.

A Gift in Kind:

Bequeath a gift of property, shares, jewellery or any other items you may wish to leave to our charity.

Alternatively:

Family Flowers Only:

Ask mourners to make a donation to the Devon Air Ambulance Trust in lieu of flowers.
What Next?

We recommend you visit a solicitor, in order to make a Will or make an amendment to your existing Will. If you simply want to add on a legacy, this could be done by drawing up what is known as a Codicil. This is then simply kept with the original copy of your Will. Your Solicitor will request the following information from you:

   1. Name of the Charity: Devon Air Ambulance Trust
   2. Charity's Address: 5 Sandpiper Court, Harrington Lane, Exeter, EX4 8NS
   3. Charity's  Registration Number: Registered Charity No: 1077998

We've Left a Lasting Legacy...

We've regularly been asked whether we had a wall, or noticeboard where these generous types of gifts have been left to the charity.  Until now we haven't.  Take a few minutes to look at the photos and names of the people below who although sadly they are no longer with us, they are continuing to leave a lasting legacy:-
