Leave a legacy

Please consider leaving a gift to the Old Royal Naval College in your will.

How to leave us a legacy

We aim to preserve this iconic UNESCO World Heritage Site for future generations to experience and enjoy.

Whether you have a personal connection to the site or you simply care about preserving its rich cultural heritage and landmark architecture, leaving a gift in your will is an incredible way for your generosity to last beyond your lifetime.

The Old Royal Naval College is run by a UK registered charity, the Greenwich Foundation, which also means that your donation will be exempt from inheritance tax.

HOW YOUR GIFT CAN HELP

Although most bequests are unrestricted, allowing your gift to go where support is urgently needed, we understand that legacies are very personal gifts and you may want to tailor your gift to a particular area of our work.

Examples include:

• Conserving and endowing one of the many beautiful 18th and 19th century lanterns that light up our site. Gifts of £10,000 or more can be commemorated via a bespoke plaque.

• Supporting our learning and outreach work with local schools, hospitals and community groups.

• Keeping Wren’s glorious architecture in the conditions it deserves through supporting our regular programme of building conservation across the site.

Whatever the Old Royal Naval College means to you and your loved ones, a legacy gift will help secure the future of this wonderful site and ensure it continues to be home to the stories which have enriched so many lives in the past.
