Leave a Lasting Legacy

Give back to the place you love.

Crewe Heritage Centre is an independent charity and we rely on the kindness and generosity of our supporters.

Since opening in 1987, we’ve welcomed generations of visitors through our doors, inspiring thousands of people with the pioneering stories of our town.

Today we are busier than ever and striving towards a bold and ambitious future that will see us radically transform our site into a thriving year-round museum and cultural venue for the people of Crewe, and beyond.

Leaving a legacy in your Will is a wonderful way of helping us realise our vision, and your contribution, however big or small, has the power to leave a lasting impact.

Even a 1% donation in your Will would ensure a legacy that helps sustain the long-term preservation of Crewe’s pioneering heritage, for the continued learning and enjoyment of generations to come.

A gift in your will can help us to:

  • Run our day to day operations ensuring the delivery of engaging and memorable days out for our many visitors.

  • Develop and care for our collection of objects that represent Crewe’s pioneering and nationally significant heritage.

  • Provide opportunities for volunteering and active engagement with heritage management.

  • Create new exhibitions and deliver engaging events and activities that reach more people.

  • Realise our vision to transform Crewe Heritage Centre in to a thriving museum and visitor attraction fitting for a town with such a nationally significant story to tell.

How to leave a legacy in your will.

We are not able to provide legal advice and we recommend that you speak to a solicitor for personal and confidential up-to-date advice tailored to your needs.

You will need to know:

  • Our charity name: Crewe Heritage Trust

  • Our registered address: Crewe Heritage Centre, Vernon Way, Crewe, Cheshire, CH1 2DB

  • Our charity number: 1011961

Unrestricted gifts allow us to direct funds to where they are most needed and will have the greatest impact. However, if you would like your legacy to support a particular area of our work, please contact us to discuss your plans and explore whether we can accommodate your wishes.

We always advise that you seek independent professional advice when writing your Will, to ensure that your estate will be distributed in accordance with your wishes.

You can find a local, qualified solicitor to help you write your Will on the Remember a Charity website
