Why Making a Will matters
Making a Will is the best way that you can protect the people and places you love, and ensure they are taken care of. A gift from you helps us keep the magic of Ushaw alive.
Your support will make a real difference. A gift in your Will could help:
- Give communities free and unlimited access to their museums, galleries and heritage sites
- Care for Ushaw’s land, buildings and artefacts of our estate for the purpose of public appreciation and enjoyment
- Support future generations through engaging educational activities and learning programmes designed to inspire all ages
- Create memorable experiences for the thousands of visitors to Ushaw every year
Ways to leave a Legacy
1. Leave a cash gift to Ushaw
Your solicitor will be able to advise you, however you will need the following information to be included in your will:
- Charity name: St Cuthbert’s College, Ushaw
- Address: Ushaw Historic House, Chapels & Gardens, Woodland Road, Ushaw Moor, DH7 7DW
- Registered charity number: 527408
2. Leave a residuary estate gift
Leaving a gift to Ushaw in this way can reduce your inheritance tax bill. You will need the support of a solicitor to arrange this.
All gifts make a difference
Ushaw is a charity and we earn all our income. Your donations and legacies left to Ushaw are helping to secure our future and are gratefully received.
Every penny of your gift can make a difference to benefit our future generations and we are thankful for all donations, no matter their size. If you have remembered Ushaw in your will, we’d love to hear from you.
Not only will this help us make plans for the future of the museum, it also means we can thank you properly for your support.
