Leave a lasting legacy

A gift in your Will is a wonderful way to celebrate your love of parks and green spaces and leave a
legacy, once you have made provision for family and friends.

Any gift, no matter how large or small, can really make a difference. We assure you that whatever you leave will be used wisely and effectively to enhance public parks and green spaces.

For more information about leaving a gift in your Will, take a look at the FAQs below, or get in touch, we would love to hear from you.

You can also give a donation in memory of a loved one, friend or pet to celebrate their life and ensure that parks remain special for future generations to enjoy.

Contact Love Leeds Parks on info@loveleedsparks.org.uk or call Sue Lumby on 0113 378 8191 to discuss legacies or in memory donations. Or you can give an online donation here.
