We understand that leaving a legacy is a personal matter and you may wish to remain anonymous, but please feel encouraged to contact us so that we can express our appreciation, thank you for your support and give you the opportunity to keep you informed of Music for All’s work.
Every contribution is greatly appreciated and we welcome you to email or call us to arrange to talk to a member of our team to discuss your intention to leave a gift. We can help you to find the right support to enable your wishes. However, you choose to give, we will be extremely grateful to receive your donation.
If you’re thinking about writing your will, or planning to amend an existing will, you can decide what type of gift you would like to leave. These might include:
A residuary gift – gifting a share or percentage of your estate once loved ones have been provided for.

Decide who you’d like to remember in your will
This list should include names of individuals and organisations, and sums in each case.
