A gift in will, no matter how large or small helps to secure the economic future of the School.

Leaving a planned gift is a very personal decision. We appreciate that family and loved ones should always come first and believe that it is important to talk to them and let them know of your intentions, should you choose to leave a bequest to AV. We recommend using a solicitor to make sure your will is legal and valid. The most important thing is your own peace of mind so we encourage you to discuss your will with your legal advisor.
