Gifting in Wills
Here at Kentish Town City Farm we rely on donations to continue offering the community a free of charge haven in the middle of the city. It has been a struggle and with the possibility of funding cuts in the future we have never needed you more.
You can leave a lasting legacy for future generations by including a charitable gift in your will. After providing your family with security, comfort and stability, you have the ability to give disadvantaged children experiences that would otherwise be inaccessible. You can provide vulnerable adults with a welcoming and nurturing community. Your donation, however big or small has the potential to improve not only individual lives but the entire culture of your neighbourhood.
In the UK bequests account for up to a third of charity income. If this is something you would like to contribute to we’ve made it a little bit easier for you. All you need is the official charity name, the charities address and the registered charity number (all found below). You are not limited to one charity and can donate to all the charities you wish.
Your donation will go towards facing any future challenges and ensuring we remain open access for everybody. It can go towards helping with the running cost of the farm, which is over £1000 every single day! Also future projects will be made possible, allowing us to reach out to everyone and continually enrich the community.
If you wish to find out more information, get in touch on 0207 916 5421 or pop in for a chat. By enquiring you are in no way obliged to make a donation in your will. We are sensitive to the fact that it is a very important decision and welcome all questions so we can help you make the right decision for you.
