Give in memory or leave a legacy

Leaving a gift in your will could be one of the most important ways you could support The David Parr House. Without any statutory funding, we rely on support from donors and benefactors to tell the stories of the house.  David Parr and his granddaughter Elsie Palmer made such a difference to our lives with what they left behind.

You could write yourself into the story so when you make your Will, or update your current one, please consider a gift to The David Parr House.

It can be as simple as a percentage of your Estate, or a specific sum to support our work. If you are considering a bequest please see the FAQs and codicil. If you would like to discuss your gift we would love to hear from you.
