Leave a lasting legacy
Make a difference for future generations of Plumpton students
A gift in your Will to the Plumpton College Charitable Foundation can help ensure that students continue to have the opportunity to learn, grow and build a successful future — whatever their circumstances.
For more than 40 years, the Foundation has helped students overcome financial and personal barriers to education. Gifts from supporters help provide practical assistance, including support with essential living costs, travel, meals, learning resources, training equipment and other needs that may fall outside the College’s normal funding.
By leaving a gift in your Will, you can help future students stay in education, achieve their qualifications and progress towards rewarding careers in the land-based sector.
Your gift can have a lasting impact
Many students face financial pressures and personal challenges that can affect their ability to continue their education. A gift in your Will could help a student to:
- remain at college during a difficult period;
- access essential learning resources and equipment;
- meet travel or other study-related costs;
- take part fully in college life and training;
- gain the confidence, knowledge and skills needed for their future.
Your support could make a lasting difference to an individual student, their family and the communities they go on to serve.
A gift that reflects your wishes
Leaving a gift in your Will to the Plumpton College Charitable Foundation can sit alongside your plans for family and loved ones. You can choose the type and value of gift that is right for you.
The most common types of legacy are:
A residuary gift
A share, or the whole, of what remains of your estate after debts, expenses and other gifts have been dealt with.
A pecuniary gift
A specific sum of money.
A specific gift
A particular item, such as property, shares, jewellery or another possession.
Every gift, whatever its size, can help support the next generation of Plumpton students.
