Legacy Giving - what will your legacy be?

A gift in your Will can become many things

Some gifts become life-changing research or access to a world-class education for a talented student who might otherwise miss out.

Why leave a gift in your will?

Lorraine Lavery shares her reason why

Having dedicated her entire career to further and higher education,?legacy pledger Lorraine has always placed great value on learning and recognised the opportunities it can present: ��Pledging a gift in my Will to provide student bursaries at Queen��s feels like a fitting way for me to give back. A bursary can provide that?extra?bit of encouragement a student might need to take the next step in their education - a decision that can be life-changing. Having written my Will, I feel such a sense of relief that my affairs are now in order. Knowing my family has been looked after and that my gift will do something substantial for others?is very fulfilling.��
