Legacies

"We are here on earth to do good for others, what the others are here for, I don't know."
W.H. Auden

Could you make the gift of a lifetime? How to leave us a legacy [PDF204KB]

Bequests and legacies are an important way in which individuals can help safeguard the long-term security of the Centre and ensure that our vital heritage material is preserved for the benefit of future generations. In addition, a further key reason for making a will is that you can ensure that your money and possessions are distributed according to your own wishes whereas this might not happen if you die intestate (without making a will).

There are two key types of gift that can be made via a will: a legacy is a straightforward gift of a specific sum of money and a bequest refers to gifts of property or possessions which may include any Second World War documentation or memorabilia that you might have.
