ACTS IS A REGISTERED CHARITY
We receive some grants from Dumfries & Galloway Council and other funders but we also rely on the kindness of the community. Our service is vital to hundreds of vulnerable people and we ask that you continue supporting us so that we can continue to support them.
Any donation, however big or small, goes directly to funding our valuable service.
Remembering ACTS in your will
Leaving a gift in your will (a legacy) to ACTS is a way you can make a huge difference to community transport in Annandale. Since 1999 we have provided affordable, accessible transport for everyone in the community so they can lead as full and active a life as possible. We know that the ability to get out and about has an enormously positive impact on people’s general outlook on life. As a Charity managed by local volunteers who represent our users we are committed to providing the transport services needed by local communities throughout Annandale. We employ 3 paid staff to administer the project but all our drivers and Board members are volunteers who want to contribute to the community.
Any legacy would be used towards the purchase of new and replacement vehicles and equipment so that we can keep our fleet of vehicles (currently 6 minibuses and 2 community cars) as comfortable and reliable as possible.
Legacies can be a fixed amount or a share of your estate. You can include a gift in your will or, if you have already made a will, you can make a simple addition to your will called a Codicil. A gift to a registered charity such as ACTS is free from inheritance tax and may lower the value of your estate below the tax threshold. Annandale Community Transport Services would advise anyone making or updating a Will to get in touch with a practising solicitor to help you do this.
If you would like more information about leaving a legacy or to discuss it further please phone our Manager, Janet Saunders.
Leaving a gift to charity in your will is an amazing way for your generosity to last beyond your own lifetime.
