Legacy

Leave a Lasting Legacy

By leaving a legacy gift you are helping us to meet our ambitions to create change, to innovate, to revolutionise and ultimately make history.

Large or small, your gift matters and has the capacity to be transformative for our students. Your legacy gift could remove financial barriers for talented students, create opportunity, drive world-leading and impactful research, inspire the greatest minds, and ultimately leave a lasting impression on future generations.

For many of us, leaving a gift in our will is the most significant gift we will ever make. After considering loved ones, we can support causes close to our heart and make a significant difference for generations to come.

Information on leaving a legacy

Wolsey Circle

The Wolsey Circle is our unique giving circle to recognise individuals, in their lifetime, for the pledge they have made to the University in their will. The Wolsey Circle is named in honour of Cardinal Thomas Wolsey who started the story of higher education in Suffolk over 500 years ago.

By pledging a legacy to the University of Suffolk, you are automatically welcomed as a member of our Wolsey Circle. Benefits include a personalised thank you from the VC, special edition gift and invitation to an exclusive annual event.

"Leaving a legacy to the Univeristy of Suffolk is an unrivalled opportunity to make an ongoing contribution to the health, welfare and education of the nation."

Neil Watts, Member of the Wolsey Circle

How to leave a gift in your will

We always recommend that you seek legal advice when drafting or updating your will. Our correct name and address for leaving a donation in your will is:

University of Suffolk
Waterfront Building, 19 Neptune Quay, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP4 1QJ

If you have chosen to recognise the University in your will, we would be most grateful if you could inform us of your decision. You are not obligated to make us aware of your intentions but if you choose to do so we are able to recognise and thank you for your special commitment. Please complete the Legacy Pledge Form and preferably return it with a copy of your will or the relevant section of your will.

Contact us

Leaving a gift in your will is a very personal and important decision. If you have any questions, or would like to discuss your intentions, our Development team are here to help.
