You can select an amount to donate as well as specifying whether you would like to give anonymously. 

You will be asked if you would like to add any special instructions for this gift. You can donate to wherever the need is greatest, so that the University of Worcester can put your donation towards the priority need at the time, or you can choose to donate to the student scholarship programme, the student hardship fund or campus developments.  

You will also be asked if you would like to claim Gift Aid and for your personal details before confirming your gift.

Leaving a legacy

A gift to in your Will is guaranteed to help future University of Worcester students.  

Gifts may be given to the University free of UK Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax, due to our charitable status. 

We would be delighted to discuss your wishes, the direction of your gift and the potential impact it could have on the University of Worcester. All information will be treated as confidential, and as we cannot offer financial or legal advice, we recommend you seek independent advice as required. 

Of course, your decision is personal and may change, but should you choose to tell us about your intentions, we will be able to thank you and keep in touch in the way you prefer. 

For further information on leaving a gift to the University of Worcester in your Will, please email Sian Gould in the Development Office at s.gould@worc.ac.uk  

Non-cash assets

Tax relief is available to UK taxpayers donating shares and securities listed on the UK stock market, the Alternative Investment Market and recognised stock exchanges overseas. It is also available for units in a UK unit trust and shares in a UK open-ended investment company. You can claim income tax relief equal to the market value of the shares on the day the gift is made, plus any associated costs such as the brokers’ fees. 

Gifts of land or property made during a donor’s lifetime attract the same tax incentives as gifts of shares, and other forms of a non-cash gift (such as works of art, books, manuscripts and equipment) may also be considered as gifts to the University of Worcester. To find out more, please contact Sian Gould in the Development Office at s.gould@worc.ac.uk early in the process so that we can work with your financial advisers to help arrange the transaction. 

Give from Europe

If you are a European resident you may wish you make your gift tax-efficiently through Transnational Giving Europe (TGE). 

Giving through TGE will be unaffected by Brexit, and donors will receive a local tax certificate that can be used for a tax deduction. Additionally, the University will not be charged gift tax for accepting your donation. 

You can use TGE as an individual, including for planned gifts and legacies, as well as for corporate giving.
