A legacy gift to St Helen and St Katharine is the most wonderful way to show your support for the School, and have a lasting impact on the next generation of students, without it costing you a penny in your lifetime.
We understand that providing for your loves ones will be your first priority, which is why we are grateful and moved when alumnae feel deeply enough about the School to leave a legacy.
If you are not sure of your next step, please feel free to speak in complete confidence to Mathew Iredale, Head of Philanthropy and Alumnae Relations (philanthropy@shsk.org.uk). Or simply make use of our free will service outlined below.
Myra Jones (1968 leaver)
"I was a ‘Scholarship girl’ in the 1960s through the direct grant scheme. I would not otherwise have been able to attend St Helen’s and my life may have taken a lesser path.
The School helped me to discover and develop my talents, and I gained an ability to express myself with a confidence which has never left me. By leaving a legacy in my will, I hope that another girl, sometime in the future, will be able to discover herself, as I did."
We know that organising your will can seem like a daunting task and this is why we have partnered with Bequeathed, whose Will for Good service allows you to write your will for free.
The process is very simple and includes free legal advice. And let me assure you that you're not obliged to leave the School a gift in your will when using this service, but we would be so grateful if you chose to do so.
For further information and to make your Will for Good, please go to www.bequeathed.org/shsk
Thank you.
Whether you decide to make use of the free will service, or talk to your own solicitor, it really helps with our future planning to know you have pledged a legacy so please do let us know by emailing philanthropy@shsk.org.uk.
The will writing service provided by Bequeathed is independent of St Helen and St Katharine. By participating in the will writing service, you become a direct client of the will provider.
