Remember A Charity Week: Leaving a Lasting Legacy for All Saints Village Hall
Every community has special places that bring people together. For All Saints Village Hall, that place is right at the heart of village life.
For more than 100 years, a hall on its current site, has hosted celebrations, clubs, classes, community events, performances and activities that connect local people and strengthen our community. As we look to the future, we also need to think about how we can protect and improve this much-loved asset for the generations who will follow us.
This Remember A Charity Week, we are inviting friends and neighbours to consider one simple but powerful way you can help secure the hall's future: leaving a gift in your will.
Remember A Charity Week is a national campaign that encourages people to consider leaving a charitable gift in their will after first providing for family and loved ones.
Many people are surprised to learn that even a modest legacy can make a lasting difference. For small community organisations like ours, gifts in wills can provide transformational funding that helps protect and improve facilities for future generations.
Why leave a legacy to All Saints Village Hall?
Our hall is more than a building. It is a shared community space that brings people together and supports local life throughout the year.
Now over 50 year's old our current hall, requires significant long term investment, including the need to replace it's ageing roof, creating an opportunity for wider sustainability improvements such as better insulation and renewable energy solutions.
Legacy gifts will be one of the only ways we can make these ambitious plans possible while ensuring the hall remains safe, welcoming and fit for purpose.
A gift in your will could help:
Fund essential repairs, safety works and upgrade facilities.
Support future redevelopment and sustainability projects.
Ensure the hall remains a thriving community hub for generations to come.
A gift to future generations
Many of us have happy memories connected to the hall. Perhaps it was where you attended events, celebrated family milestones, or simply spent time with neighbours and friends.
Leaving a gift in your will is an opportunity to give something back to a place that has contributed so much to community life.
How does legacy giving work?
There are several ways you can leave a gift in your will:
Pecuniary Gift - A fixed sum of money.
Residuary Gift - A percentage of your estate after other gifts and expenses have been distributed.
Specific Gift - A particular item, such as artwork, equipment, furniture or other valuable possessions.
If you are considering leaving a legacy gift, we recommend speaking with your solicitor or will-writing professional, who can advise on the most appropriate option for your circumstances.
