There are several ways you can choose to remember Sutton Lodge in your will:
Residuary Gift
A share of your estate after other gifts, expenses, and commitments have been settled. This type of gift often has the greatest impact.
Pecuniary Gift
A fixed sum of money specified in your will.
Specific Gift
An item of value—such as property, jewellery, or other possessions—that we may use or sell to support our work.
 
We are deeply grateful for every gift, large or small.

If you decide to include Sutton Lodge in your will, you may find this suggested wording helpful when speaking with your legal advisor:
 
“I give all (or a _% share of) the residue of my estate to Sutton Lodge Day Centre, 139 Brighton Road, Sutton Surrey SM2 5SW for its general charitable purposes. I direct that the receipt of the Treasurer or other authorised officer shall be a valid and appropriate discharge.”

Charity number   284231

If you already have a will and wish to add Sutton Lodge as a beneficiary, your legal advisor may use this wording:
 
“I (name) of (address) declare this to be a codicil to my will dated (date). I give (details of legacy) to Sutton Lodge Day Centre, 139 Brighton Road, Sutton Surrey SM2 5SW for its general charitable purposes. I direct that the receipt of the Treasurer or other authorised officer shall be a valid and appropriate discharge. In all other respects I confirm my will.”
