Leaving a gift in your Will

When we look back over our lives, we think about the things that matter most to us; our family, our friends and our community.

By choosing to leave a gift in your Will to Lancashire Cricket Foundation, you’ll make a difference to the lives of those that need it most as well as your loved ones after you’ve gone.

What does the future look like?

The number of young people across Lancashire living in poverty is on the rise. These young people are vulnerable to poor educational attainment, future worklessness and to suffering with poor physical health and mental wellbeing. As this number increases, so does the need for our services.

A gift in your Will could help ensure that we can continue to be there to meet this future need. Through each and every gift we receive, we can carefully plan for the future and will be able to be there to help those people in need find their best way through.

If you decide to include a gift in your Will to Lancashire Cricket Foundation, please use the recommended form of wording given in one of the following paragraphs
