How to become a Western Legacy...!

Leave a gift in your Will to the Western Locomotive Association Ltd and your legacy will be helping to continue the legacy of our Westerns, for future generations to enjoy!

A gift in your Will would provide valuable help to provide the financial resources to maintain and operate both D1013 Western Ranger and D1062 Western Courier. Indeed, any gift, large or small makes a huge difference to the WLA and is always much appreciated by the volunteers who manage the Association, those who work on the locomotives and of course, those who enjoy the sight and sound of a working Western!

Making a bequest in a Will is a tax efficient method of giving, as it is free of inheritance tax and can greatly benefit the process of estate planning. There are several ways in which a legacy donation can be made, and the following are two examples of the wording that could be used:

Residuary gift
Subject to the payment of my debts, funeral and testamentary expenses, I give the whole / _ % of my estate not otherwise disposed of by this my Will to The Western Locomotive Association Ltd (WLA) of 5, Prospect Place, Millennium Way, Pride Park, Derby, England DE24 8HG, a Registered Charity No. 1115058, for the general purposes of the WLA and I declare that the receipt of its Treasurer or other proper officer shall be a full and sufficient discharge.

Pecuniary gift
I give free of tax to the The Western Locomotive Association Ltd (WLA) of 5, Prospect Place, Millennium Way, Pride Park, Derby, England DE24 8HG, a Registered Charity No. 1115058, the sum of £__ for the general purposes of the WLA and I declare that the receipt of its Treasurer or other proper officer shall be a full and sufficient discharge.
