A new Legacy leaflet, with information about a gift to King's in your Will,
is to be distributed to all OAs in 2014 and extracts from the leaflet are
on the facing page. A codicil template is now also available on the King's
College website site to download, or please ring the OA Club Office for
a copy; this enables OAs to amend their will in favour of King's without
incurring the cost of a new will. Anyone considering this option should
still seek the advice of their solicitor. Please contact Leisa Lavender if you
are considering leaving a gift to King's - 012823 328238/07968 104409. You

BECAUSE
THANK YOUMATTERS
The Old Pelicans Society
All our legators become members of the Old
Pelican Society. The OPS has been formed to
recognise those who have left a gift to King's
College in their Will. It provides the opportunity
to thank those donors properly and to keep them
informed of the school's plans and achievements.
Membership is open to anyone who lets us know
that they have made a bequest to the school. All
members are invited each year to a Benefactors'
Day at King's College and Christmas Lunch in
London.
We hope that you will consider becoming a
member of this very special society.
he aims of the fund
he Benefit Fund Committee provides charitable assistance, in the form of Distress and Education Grants, for former pupils,
their spouses, widows and children.
Whilst application cannot be considered for assistance with university projects, research etc, the fund is there to assist
where for instance the continuance of a former pupil's further education is threatened through circumstances of genuine
financial hardship, bereavement or injury etc.
he Benefit Fund Committee also wishes to remind former pupils that if they send their children to King's they are eligible
to apply for an Old Aluredian Bursary. he Old Aluredian Bursary Fund provides for bursaries primarily on the basis of
financial need.
he Benefit Fund is a charity and OAs can leave a bequest in their will to the Fund Registered Charity Number 310284
