Legacy

Leaving the Socialist Workers Party a gift in your will helps us to continue the work of building an organisation committed to replacing capitalism with a world without war, racism and injustice.

After a life dedicated to building a revolutionary organisation at the heart of the struggle, comrades sometimes choose to leave the Socialist Workers Party a gift in their will to help us continue our work into the future. 

If you choose to include the SWP in your will, your legacy will sustain the work of new generations of revolutionaries continuing our tradition of struggle against racism, fascism, imperialism and exploitation and for socialism in the 21st century.

There are two main ways you can leave a gift to the SWP, after you have thought of your family and loved ones:

You can leave a specific sum of money or an item (this is known as a pecuniary legacy).

You can leave a share, or all of, what’s left of the value of your estate once all bills have been paid and other legacies distributed (this is known as a residuary legacy).

If you would like to add a gift to the SWP to an existing will, you can use a codicil. You do not have to write a new will, this just adds a new instruction. Alternatively you can write a new will if your wishes are complicated or if you have not yet written a will.

A suggested form of words for a pecuniary legacy is given below:

“I give the bequest of XXXXXX to the SOCIALIST WORKERS PARTY of PO Box 74955, London E16 9EJ.

If the said Party has changed its name or has amalgamated with or transferred all its assets to any other body, then the gift should be made to the body in its changed name or which results from any such amalgamation.”
