Your Liverpool legacy

After making sure the people you love are taken care of, remembering us in your will is an extraordinary way to celebrate your life while supporting the causes that are important to you.

Whether your gift supports life-changing, world-leading research into the biggest challenges faced by society, shapes the student experience through capital projects and campus infrastructure, or funds scholarships, prizes and bursaries which allow students to study at Liverpool who otherwise would not have been able to, you will be leaving a significant legacy for future generations.  

Did you know that you can leave as little as 1% of your estate to the University as a charitable gift in your will, and a gift of 10% may help reduce inheritance tax on your entire estate?

Whether you are considering leaving a fixed sum of money, a share of your estate or a specific item to the University, it would be our honour to work with you to help ensure your wishes are carried out.

To include us in your will, your professional advisor will need:

  • Our details: The University of Liverpool is an exempt charity under the terms of the Charities Act 2011 (HMRC charity exemption number X7758). Further information about the University’s charitable status is available in the Governance section of our website.
  • Our registered address: University of Liverpool, Foundation Building, Brownlow Hill, Liverpool, L69 7ZX.

Already pledged a gift?

If you have decided to leave a gift to the University in your will, please let us know. It will help us to share our sincere gratitude and keep you updated on the area you would like to support.

Margaret Hope Alston-Garnjost's lasting legacy at Liverpool

Margaret passed away in February 2019, having lived a full life, and was described by her family as “always cheerful and kind”. Her kindness has had a lasting impact through her Liverpool legacy. Margaret’s generosity gave a lifeline to many students during the Covid-19 Pandemic, contributed towards the Yoko Ono Lennon Centre building project and has helped part-fund a PhD Physics Student, which enabled them to follow in her footsteps and visit the Lawrence Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley, USA.
