Attending, participating in and appreciating dance has a huge impact on the lives of many people.

For many contemporary dance enthusiasts, a bequest (a planned gift) to The Place provides a lasting tribute. As The Place Contemporary Dance Trust is a registered charity, leaving a Legacy is not only a way of supporting the theatre, the school and our many education projects for generations to come, but also helps reduce inheritance tax. Any bequest made to The Place is deducted from the value of the estate before tax liability is calculated.

If you wish to consider leaving a legacy in a new will please find further information about the different types of legacy here.

If you have already made a will, the simplest way to add an instruction regarding an additional beneficiary is to complete a Codicil (an addition to a will). A Codicil contains supplementary instructions, and is drawn up and witnessed in exactly the same way as a will, preventing you having to have a fresh will re-drafted. Download a codicil form here or from the column on the right of this page.

Whether it is as part of a new will or in a short codicil to an existing will, it is straightforward to remember The Place with a legacy from your estate.

Acknowledging your support
Leaving a legacy to The Place will help to ensure that future generations can participate in and enjoy contemporary dance. The Place gratefully acknowledges the support of legacy gifts. There are a number of ways in which this can be done, depending on the nature of the gift. Legacy Donors can be acknowledged on the back of auditorium seats, on major supporter boards or in exceptional cases having their name or someone close to them associated with one of the studios or an aspect of our activities.
