Legacy & Tax-Efficient Giving
Leave a Legacy
Ensure the music lives on. If you have enjoyed our performances as a singer or audience member, please consider making a bequest in your will. You can direct your legacy to the permanent Jubilee Fund to protect our long-term future, or assign it for immediate operational use.
Gift Aid It
You can boost your support at no extra cost. If you are a UK taxpayer, the Government’s Gift Aid scheme allows us to claim a tax refund on your individual Friends, Benefactors, or Jubilee Member donations. This adds vital extra funds to our society at absolutely no expense to you.
