Remember a Charity Week

Theatres Trust is taking part in Remember a Charity Week, a nationwide campaign to encourage people to leave a gift in their Will to a charity that is important to them.

By leaving a gift in your Will to the Theatres Trust, you could help us to keep theatres alive through our free advice service, small grants programmes and campaigning work. As a small charity, gifts of any size really do make such a difference to our work and would see your passion for theatres last beyond your lifetime.

Examples of how gifts in Wills are helping Theatres Trust


This year we have been fortunate to receive gifts in two Wills.

  • Life Friend Gerald Smith who had been supporting the Theatres Trust since 1991 left his estate to a number of charities close to his heart. We were delighted that Theatres Trust was one of them. The significant gift we received will be vital in ensuring theatres are kept alive and vibrant for all communities.
  • Jane Leatt also left us a percentage of her estate divided amongst other charities that were important to her. Jane had a long-time love of theatre particularly in her home in Bristol and with her solicitor she identified the Theatres Trust as a charity that could keep her passion alive when she had gone.

Free Will writing service for our supporters

As part of the Remember a Charity Week campaign, we are pleased to have partnered with Guardian Angel to offer a free online Will writing service to Theatres Trust supporters. This can be for new wills or adapting an existing one.
