A gift in your Will - your lasting gift to Giggleswick.

You could make a difference to future generations who will benefit from Giggleswick, by leaving a gift to Giggleswick School. All gifts in Wills directly support work that cares for and enhances our pupil’s lives. Many choose to support bursaries through their legacy, others it is sport, music and drama, or the boarding life of the school. The choice is yours.

Giving to Giggleswick School in memory of a friend, relative or former staff member ensures a lasting memory while helping future generations of pupils.

Gifts in memory of a teacher, friend or relative
If you would like to make a donation in memory of a loved one, many funeral directors will be able to arrange a collection for you and forward donations directly to Giggleswick School.  Alternatively you may wish to ask friends or relatives to make a donation directly to us. Either way we will be incredibly grateful.

Gifts in celebration of a special occasion
Some of our supporters have asked for gifts to be made to Giggleswick School, in lieu of receiving personal gifts for a birthday, wedding, or anniversary.  This is a wonderful way to support Giggleswick School, and introduce the School to friends and family.

Whatever your reason for giving, Giggleswick School will send a thank you letter to each supporter, following their gift.  We ask each supporter to make their gift tax effective through the Gift Aid scheme.  In addition, we will provide you with a complete list of donations received in memoriam, should you wish to send your own personal acknowledgement.

Due to changes in the law, giving shares, securities and investments has become an attractive, mutually beneficial way for individuals and companies to support Giggleswick School. We have had a number of gifts made in this way.

Whilst Giggleswick School can give general information relating to the tax relief on donating shares, we are not qualified to offer financial advice. If you have questions about your personal situation, please contact your financial advisor.

In order for supporters from the USA to make tax effective gifts to Giggleswick School, we have joined the British Schools and Universities Foundation Inc. This body represents over a hundred UK and Commonwealth institutions and enables you to claim an income tax deduction alongside your gift to the School. There is specific advice on making a gift from the USA but it is very safe and quite straightforward.
