Gifts in Wills
We know that your first priority when making a will is to provide for your loved ones, but many people find that even after they’ve done this they would like to leave something to a cause they hold dear. Leaving a gift in your will is one of the most valuable and lasting ways you can support us. It costs nothing during your lifetime but will have a powerful impact for years to come. If you would like to leave a gift to Axminster Heritage we would recommend you speak to your solicitor.
