Support

Help us tell the stories of the house, forever.

Every gift supports tours, events, exhibitions, talks, workshops and outreach.

We still have so many more secrets to share so please give us a gift to help craft a bright future at the David Parr House.

Donate

In 1912, David Parr inscribed ‘If you do anything, do it well’ on his Drawing Room wall – and that’s our inspiration.

David Parr House is a tiny venue with big ambitions and we have started by creating a £1 million endowment fund so we can deliver an inspiring programme every year to audiences near and far, both at the house and online. As a small independent charity we receive no statutory funding, so we’d love your help to share the house with future generations.

100% of your gift goes towards this bright future – click donate to see what difference your gift could make.

Legacies

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.
