Leave a Gift in Your Will

Leaving a gift to the museum in your Will is a great way to help secure its long-term future.

Every penny from gifts received goes towards securing the future of the museum, caring for its collections and telling soldiers’ stories.  

Every gift, in every Will, however large or small, makes a difference.

Caring for the collections

Caring for the collections of the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry and Light Infantry regiments is a critical part of our work. Without the museum, the heritage of the Regiments would be at risk.

As a charity, the museum entrance fees we receive from visitors are vital and we are working hard to increase our income from this source, but it isn’t nearly enough to cover our ongoing costs.

 

Gifts

The gifts that generous supporters leave us in their Wills will be a vital part of the museum’s future success and essential if we’re to continue conserving the museum collection, sharing the proud histories of the DCLI and LI with a wide public, and maintaining our magnificent historic Grade II listed building.

Can you help us to secure our future and to remember the Regiments that you and your loved ones are passionate about?
