BUILDING A LEGACY TO BE PROUD OF We’re incredibly lucky to have dedicated supporters who choose to leave gifts in their Wills. Whether big or small, these gifts can make a huge difference. Take Stuart Burrell’s amazing gift, which he left to be used in Sussex in the form of his collection of model trains. The West Sussex Local Group used some of the gift to run local events, and the remainder was donated to the Coeliac UK Research Fund. One event was held at Butlins Bognor Regis to bring together families with children affected by coeliac disease. From helping a child to feel more included to funding important research, your legacy gift will help people dealing with coeliac disease. If you’d like more information about leaving a gift in your Will, or if you have any questions please contact us on 01494 796127 or email fundraising@coeliac.org.uk . “I am delighted with the spending proposals of Stuart's Legacy which will help future coeliacs in so many ways. He would have been very chuffed. I am very pleased that the money will benefit so many worthwhile areas involved with coeliac disease.” Gail Burrell, Stuart’s wife The West Sussex Group at their event
