Macmillan doesn't run any charity shops, so we unfortunately cannot accept gifts of personal belongings directly in most circumstances.
However, we are always delighted to receive any proceeds of sale, and if you think any items may be valuable, we can arrange valuations and special rates with some of the country's best-known auction houses.
We are able to provide a great deal of support and advice if you are dealing with a property or shares, including preferential rates of commission on sales and advice on tax.
Please let us know| the nature of a bequest, with a valuation if applicable, and we can work with you to make sure the maximum value is achieved.
Macmillan as a registered charity enjoys exemptions from Inheritance Tax, Capital Gains Tax and Income Tax, and there are many ways in which tax can be saved during the administration of an estate to make a legacy worth even more to the charity.
Please do contact us| as early as you can so that we can help with this.
If you have any other queries or would like further information please contact us|.
They give to you the one thing that's taken away from you at diagnosis, and that's hope. It's hope for a better life, it's hope for a better future, it's support that you need, and I can't stress enough how invaluable that is to somebody in the predicament. Siobhan Fitzgerald
