Due to the current and ongoing situation with Covid-19, Groundwork CLM and Rivington Heritage Trust have taken the difficult decision to suspend all public Events in the Terraced Gardens until further notice.
There are a number of ways of supporting us by a donation in memory of a loved one.
If you would like further information, please contact us through donations@rivingtonterracedgardens.co.uk.
Payroll Giving is a government supported scheme whereby you are able to donate money to a charity of your choice through PAYE without having to pay Income Tax on it.
Please contact us through donations@rivingtonterracedgardens.co.uk to discuss this further.
If like us you are a long standing supporter of the Gardens you have probably contributed either time or money to their restoration and ongoing maintenance or simply enjoyed the Gardens for their beauty, but what about future generations?
You could consider making a bequest in your will, however small, that could make a valuable contribution to keeping the Gardens available for your children, grandchildren spouses and relatives to enjoy as a permanent reminder if the good times you have spent enjoying the Gardens.
If you are thinking of making a will you should take professional advice so your estate can be properly dealt with after you are gone. It is easy to make a provision to support the Gardens either when drawing up a will or by adding a simple request to an existing will.
You can support the Trust into the future in a number of ways. You can leave a specific sum, you can leave an index linked sum or a specific share of your estate. In each case your adviser can help talk you through the best option for you and your family. Some examples of the type of provision you could make are listed below. The Charitable Trust that is responsible for the Gardens would also be responsible for ensuring any bequest is used to help, preserve and maintain the Gardens for future generations and you would know you have made a lasting contribution to a local gem that deserves to be enjoyed by future generations.
If you'd like to leave a pecuniary gift, you might find this wording helpful:
'I give to Rivington Heritage Trust 'the Trust') of (insert registered office address), Registered Charity No. 1064700 the sum of £ (insert amount).'
If you'd like to leave an index-linked pecuniary gift:
'I give to Rivington Heritage Trust ('the Trust') of (insert registered office address) Registered Charity No. 1064700, the sum of £ (insert amount) or such larger sum as my executors calculate to have the same value at my death as the figure specified at the date of this (insert either 'Will' or 'Codicil date').'
If you'd like to leave a residuary gift:
'I give (specify %) of the residue of my real and personal estate to Rivington Heritage Trust ('the Trust') of (insert registered office address) Registered Charity No. 1064700 and the receipt of the Honorary Treasurer or the proper officer for the time being of the National Trust shall be a complete discharge to my executors.'
