Gifts in Wills

Leaving a gift in your Will Information for executors

With a gift in your Will, you can make sure our bond with the Gurkhas is never broken.

Like you, we are determined to repay our debt of honour to the nation that gave us their sons. That is why we are committed to working in Nepal for the long term, not just the ‘here and now’ – building on over 50 years of work in the country and doing everything we can to support the veterans, their widows, their children and grandchildren with healthcare, access to an education, clean water and more.

By leaving a gift in your Will to The Gurkha Welfare Trust, you can support this vital work. Ensuring that your own personal bond with the Gurkhas continues, unbroken, even after you are no longer here.

Everyone has their reason for leaving a gift

As a Sergeant in the education corps, Ralph taught English to the Gurkhas and their families. He often talked about the Gurkhas when he returned home. He held them in very high regard. This was a very important period in Ralph’s life and he retained links with them right up until the last.

“My father was a very passionate advocate of the Gurkhas over the years, and he would have been delighted to know that the gift in his Will is helping people who were close to his heart. ”
