And it\u2019s easier than you might think.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"282\" data-end=\"419\">Leaving a gift to Chetham\u2019s School of Music is one of the most powerful ways you can support the next generation of young musicians.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"421\" data-end=\"738\">When the time is right, just a quick call or email to your solicitor is all it takes to update your will. You just need to provide our name and charity number:\u00a0<strong data-start=\"677\" data-end=\"737\">Chetham\u2019s School of Music, Registered Charity No. 526702<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"421\" data-end=\"738\">And if you don\u2019t have a will yet, we recommend you get in touch with a solicitor, or use a free will-writing service, available online.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"421\" data-end=\"738\">Why leave a gift to Chetham&#8217;s?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"740\" data-end=\"989\">Chetham\u2019s is the UK\u2019s largest specialist music school, and the only one of its kind in the North of England. Each year, we welcome students from all backgrounds, including many for whom a world-class music education would otherwise be out of reach.<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1076\">\n<li data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1038\">\n<p data-start=\"993\" data-end=\"1038\"><strong data-start=\"993\" data-end=\"1038\">90% of students receive financial support<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1039\" data-end=\"1076\">\n<p data-start=\"1041\" data-end=\"1076\"><strong data-start=\"1041\" data-end=\"1076\">Over 20% receive full bursaries<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1309\"><span data-teams=\"true\">We\u2019re committed to keeping music education accessible. But with VAT now levied on our fees, they\u2019ve increased by 20%, putting even more pressure on families and on us as a charity. Rising costs and static government funding mean we need your help more than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1309\">How to leave a gift<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1311\" data-end=\"1498\">Many choose to leave a % share of their estate to charity, as these types of gifts don\u2019t lose value over time. You can also leave a fixed sum of money, or a specific item.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1311\" data-end=\"1498\">By leaving as little as 1%, you can help ensure that talented young musicians continue to thrive here, regardless of their financial background.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1985\" data-end=\"2101\">Your loved ones will always come first \u2014 but even a small share of your estate can have a life-changing impact for a young musician.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1985\" data-end=\"2101\">A lasting legacy<\/h3>\n<p>Chetham\u2019s itself is proof that the impact of gifts in wills can span generations. Built on the legacy of Humphrey Chetham who donated the site almost 600 years ago, Chetham\u2019s continues to be a space for sharing creativity and education.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2124\" data-end=\"2299\">Every gift, no matter the size \u2013 whether 1%, 5% or more of your estate \u2013 helps secure the future of music in the North of England. When the time is right to remember a charity in your will, please remember Chetham\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2301\" data-end=\"2362\">It\u2019s easy. It\u2019s powerful. And it lasts beyond a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2364\" data-end=\"2378\"><strong data-start=\"2364\" data-end=\"2378\">Thank you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div><em>If you are interested in becoming a part of this tradition, we\u2019d love to hear from you.
