Leave a Legacy with Firstsite

At Firstsite, we are committed to nurturing creativity, supporting local artists, and enriching our community through the power of art.

Our mission is to make art matter by ensuring creativity is recognised as essential to a happy and healthy society for all.

As a charity, we rely on the generosity of individuals like you to continue this important work.

One of the most impactful ways to support us is by leaving a gift in your Will. These gifts are vital, providing lasting support that allows us to continue enriching lives both now and in the future.

Why Your Legacy Matters

By making a gift to Firstsite in your Will, you are recognising the work that we do and the difference we make to people’s lives. Every gift, no matter the size can have a profound impact.

Your legacy will ensure that Firstsite continues to thrive and inspire future generations. Rest assured, your contribution will be used thoughtfully and effectively to make a lasting difference.

How your gift can help

Your gift can help secure the future of Firstsite’s exhibitions, events and community projects, helping us:

 

Keep our exhibitions free and accessible for future generations to enjoy

Deliver education programmes and local creative community projects, like Holiday Fun that support families and young people from all backgrounds and circumstances to discover and develop their creativity

Support young artists through our YAK programme (link to YAK page)

Support local artists through our workshop programme

 

How to Leave a Gift

Deciding to leave a gift in your Will is an important decision, and we recommend consulting with a solicitor for guidance.

We are here to support you as well—please feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss how you can contribute to Firstsite through your legacy. All conversations will be kept strictly confidential.
