Leaving a Legacy

Leeds Heritage Theatres is a registered charity that cares for three of the city’s most iconic buildings, welcoming 400,000 people each year to enjoy a wide variety of live theatre, music, and film. We also provide vital support to communities across the city and region through our Learning and Engagement programme, offering a diverse range of workshops, skills training, and opportunities to have fun.

By leaving a gift in your will, you will help safeguard this important work – which began in 1865 – enabling us to continue connecting people across the region through the magic of creativity, arts, and culture.

Our promise to you: Legacy gifting is a deeply personal decision, and we want to reassure you that any contribution will go directly to Leeds Heritage Theatres, helping us create lasting, positive impact. You can change your mind at any time, and we will always respect your privacy and wishes. All information you share with Farewill and with us will be handled with complete confidentiality.

Gifts: There are two types of gifts that can be left –

Pecuniary Gifts: This is a fixed amount of money. Pecuniary gifts are the first to be made from your estate and can be index linked to protect their value, or

Residuary Gifts: This is a share of your estate. Residuary gifts come from the remainder of your estate, after costs are deducted and pecuniary gifts have been made.

Details: If required, when gifting any money, our address and charity number is: Leeds Heritage Theatres, 46 New Briggate, Leeds, LS1 6NU. Registered Charity Number 500408

Solicitors: You’re not required to hire a solicitor to complete your will. Farewill’s specialist team offer expert checking, to ensure your wishes are clear. However, you may prefer to work with a solicitor if you have complex requirements such as assets abroad. Farewill is here to help you with decisions like this, so feel free to give them a call on 020 8092 5010.
