We are a small registered charity and gifts made to us in the Wills of our supporters are extremely important to us. Leaving a gift in your Will means that you can support the museum’s long-term future and help us to preserve and share with others the memory of our Regiments. Every penny from gifts received goes towards securing the future of the museum, caring for our collections and telling our soldiers’ stories. Every gift, in every Will, however large or small, will make a difference.
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.
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?
If you are considering leaving us a gift in your Will, thank you. Every gift makes a lasting difference. Rest assured that any gift that you leave will be used wisely and effectively.
