Legacy Gifting
Legacy gifting offers a meaningful way to ensure Northern Ireland's cultural heritage continues to flourish for generations to come. By choosing legacy gifting to support The Lyric Theatre Belfast, you create a lasting tribute to your values whilst securing the future of theatre in Northern Ireland.
The Lyric Theatre has nurtured Belfast's cultural landscape since 1951, but as a charity our continued success depends on the generosity of supporters who understand the importance of the work we do through our Creative Learning programmes. Legacy gifting provides the sustainable funding that enables us to plan confidently for the future.
How Legacy Gifting Works
Legacy gifting can take various forms to suit your personal circumstances and wishes. Many supporters choose to leave a percentage of their estate, whilst others prefer to designate specific amounts or particular assets. Our legacy gifting programme offers complete flexibility to accommodate your preferences and family circumstances.
- Consider Your Options - Decide whether you'd like to leave a percentage of your estate, a specific monetary amount, or particular assets. Consider if you want to support general operations or designate your gift for specific programmes like Creative Learning or accessibility initiatives.
- Consult Legal Professionals - Speak with a qualified solicitor or will-writing specialist who can advise on the best approach for your circumstances and ensure your legacy gift is structured to maximise benefits whilst meeting your family's needs.
- Update Your Will - Include your legacy gift in a new will or add it through a simple codicil to your existing will. Ensure The Lyric Theatre's full legal name and charity registration details are correctly specified to avoid any complications.
- Inform The Lyric Theatre - Let our Development team know about your intended legacy gift so we can thank you appropriately, provide updates on our work, and ensure your wishes are clearly understood for when the time comes to honour your generosity.
