Today marks the start of Remember a Charity Week taking place between the 9-15 September. This important annual campaign raises awareness of the many wonderful charitable organisations across the country and how we can support them. One powerful way to contribute is by leaving a legacy through a charitable donation in your will.
Colchester Museums Development Foundation is now three years old and continues to inspire and enrich our local Colchester community, through the preservation, exploration and sharing of the city’s rich heritage.
Legacy gifts help fund fascinating research, educational programs, and conservation efforts, ensuring the preservation of Colchester’s rich cultural heritage. By working together, we can keep Colchester's history alive and thriving for future generations.
There are many ways to support the foundation and make a difference in addition to a legacy gift. You could donate, or symbolically adopt one of our precious objects. Object adoption is popular and makes a wonderful, sustainable gift! With prices starting from just £10 you can buy quickly online.
Cllr Natalie Sommers, Portfolio Holder for Communities, Heritage and Public Protection said, “During Remember a Charity Week, consider the impact you can make on future generations. By including Colchester Museums in your will, you will create a legacy that ensures our cultural heritage endures. Together, let's protect and celebrate the history that makes our city special.”
