Leave a Legacy
Remember Cambridge Past, Present & Future in your will
We rely heavily on the kind donations of supporters to make a difference to Cambridge and its surroundings. One way you can help support our work is to leave a legacy donation in your Will or to make a donation in memory of someone you love.
If you or a loved one have had a lifetime’s pleasure from places such as Wandlebury Country Park and Coton Country Reserve or our heritage sites, then a legacy gift is a great way of helping future generations to enjoy it too.
Members and supporters of Cambridge Past, Present & Future have provided legacies large and small to enable us to:-
- care for places such as Wandlebury,
- create Coton Countryside Reserve
- provide learning and outreach
- look after the historic buildings in our care.
Leaving a legacy to charity in your will is often a lot simpler than people think.
There are a number of ways you can leave a legacy to us, it can be:
- a specified amount of money
- a percentage of your estate
- specific items.
It may also take the form of
- a donation in memory of a loved one
- a gift instead of floral tributes at a funeral.
Because we are a charity your gift in a will is exempt from Inheritance Tax and you could reduce the amount of inheritance tax due on your estate by leaving us a legacy.
If you are thinking of leaving a legacy it would be best to speak to your solicitor. You can find a solicitor at www.lawsociety.org.uk. If you do decide to give a legacy it is helpful to include our charity number – 204121
For further information please download our legacy leaflet. When you are ready we’d be pleased to talk to you about leaving a legacy and all information will be treated in the strictest confidence.
