Remember us in your will

By remembering our charity in your will, you can help ensure that arts and culture in Winchester thrive for generations to come.

Every gift — large or small — makes a profound difference. It helps us protect our historic theatre home and ensures we can continue bringing creativity, connection, and the joy of live performance to our communities long into the future.

A gift for generations to come

There are several ways you can choose to leave a lasting gift to our overarching charity, Play to the Crowd:

  • A share of your estate: Known as a residuary gift, even a small percentage (such as 0.1% or 1%) can make a massive impact after your loved ones are taken care of.
  • A specific sum of money: A fixed cash amount, known as a pecuniary gift.
  • A specific item: A particular asset, such as property, jewellery, or valuable possessions.

A note on tax: Leaving a gift to a registered charity can often reduce the amount of inheritance tax payable on your estate. We highly recommend speaking with a trusted professional advisor or solicitor to help you explore the best options for your circumstances.
