Legacy & Wills

By leaving a gift to The Whitaker in your will, you can help protect our heritage, inspire future generations, and keep art, culture, and history alive in the heart of the Rossendale Valley.

No matter the size, every gift makes a lasting difference. After you’ve taken care of your loved ones, leaving even a small percentage of your estate to The Whitaker is a meaningful way to ensure your passion for art, heritage, and community lives on.

If you’re considering leaving a gift, we’d love to talk with you—confidentially and without obligation—about how your generosity could shape The Whitaker’s future. Please contact Caroline@thewhitaker.org

Together, we can make sure The Whitaker continues to inspire for generations to come.

We’ve partnered with FreeWills.co.uk to provide all our supporters with the opportunity to make their own fully comprehensive Will for free. You can make your personalised Will online in three simple steps, from the comfort of your own home and with live support from their Will specialists.
