Gift in Celebration

If you are having a party, birthday or anniversary you could consider asking for donations as opposed to gifts.

Donation in Memoriam

In the tragic event of someone dying through accident or illness, family members have requested donations to the JCMT. This was made possible by collections at memorial services and/or donations in lieu of flowers at funerals. If desired, we could post details of your donations to the Trust on our website with a photograph in memoriam.

Legacy

Would you be prepared to leave a gift in your Will to the JCMT? There are different kinds of gift you can leave in your Will. Four various ways are set out below:

• Residuary RequestA gift of the remainder of the estate after all other bequests have been made and debts cleared is called a residuary bequest.
• Pecuniary RequestA gift of a fixed sum of money in your Will is called a pecuniary bequest. The value of pecuniary legacies will decrease over time, as inflation increases.
• Specific RequestWhen a specific named item is left as a gift in your Will is known as a specific bequest – for example a piece of jewellery.
• Contingent BequestA gift in your Will that depends upon the occurrence of an event which may or may not happen is known legally as a contingent bequest. An example is a bequest to a charity which applies only if other beneficiaries named in the Will die before the testator (person who made the Will).

2010 Fundraising Events

Thank you to Simon Bostock who completed both the Scottish Winter and Summer Alpine Courses in 2010, and decided to raise money for JCMT by taking part in the Atlantic Coast Challenge. That involved the daunting task of 78.6 miles (3 marathons over 3 days) raising £467.00. Pictures of this challenge can be seen HERE.
