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.
