Frequently asked questions

Charity name: Emanuel School General Charitable Trust

Charity number: 296273

Address: Emanuel School, Battersea Rise, London SW11 1HS

Emanuel School is a registered charity (charity number 296273) and so gifts are exempt from UK Inheritance and Capital Gains Taxes. Under current rules, if you leave 10% or more of your chargeable net estate to charity, the Inheritance Tax rate on the whole of your taxable estate is reduced from 40% to 36%.

However, Inheritance Tax rules can change so it’s always best to discuss your will and the type of gift you might like to leave with your solicitor.

No, all gifts are important to us and will be used with care. Leaving just 1% of your estate can make a huge difference to the future of our pupils and the school site.

The value of money changes over time, particularly with rising inflation, so a percentage gift can help to make sure your loved ones are taken care of, while allocating a small share to the school.

No, it is completely your choice. However, it helps us to plan ahead and honour your wishes if you let us know by filling in the 1594 Club membership form.

We are unable to provide any legal advice. A solicitor will help to ensure that your will is valid and that your wishes will be met. However, you can choose to use a will writer or online will provider.

We understand that circumstances can change, and you can change the content of your will at any time.
