Why leave a legacy gift to The Sutton Trust?

Our work is entirely reliant on the generous support of our community of donors and so any gift that you choose to leave, no matter the size, will make a tremendous difference to our work, long into the future.

Since 1997, we’ve worked to empower over 60,000 young people to access life-changing opportunities through our university, apprenticeship and career access programmes while our research influences national change to deliver a fairer future, but there is still so much more to be done.

A legacy to The Sutton Trust will allow us to  continue our work in tackling socio-economic disadvantage in the UK for generations to come.

How to leave a gift in your Will to us

There are three types of gifts you can leave to The Sutton Trust:

  • Residuary Legacy: A percentage, or whole, of your estate once other gifts and liabilities have been distributed
  • Pecuniary Legacy: A fixed sum of money
  • Specific Legacy: A specific object, asset or property

To leave a gift in your Will, contact your solicitor quoting The Sutton Trust.

Alongside my husband, who has made his own social mobility journey, I’ve chosen to leave a legacy gift to the Sutton Trust — an established charity with which I share a set of values, and which I believe has the ability to continue tackling educational disadvantage, social injustices, and barriers to social mobility. In the current socio-economic climate, change requires financial commitment."
