LEAVE A GIFT IN YOUR WILL AND CHANGE A LIFE FOREVER

With a gift in your Will, you would transform the lives of talented children from poor and disadvantaged backgrounds – removing barriers to social mobility – ensuring that any child wanting to study at Reigate Grammar School gets the very best start on their journey in life.

Why leave a legacy?

“I have left a percentage of my estate in my Will to the RGS Foundation to support the 1675 Bursary Fund, having witnessed the impact that Reigatians have had on the life chances of others. I believe wholeheartedly that every child should have the opportunity of an excellent education, no matter their background or circumstance. By becoming a legator, I can support the next generation of Reigatians long after my time on this earth is done!”

Jonny Hylton (RGS 1992-1999, RGS staff 2014-present)

“My support of the RGS Foundation is given with the hope of enabling promising young people with modest means to benefit in the way that I have. It is a cause very close to my heart as I was one whose life was truly changed by my time at the school and for that I have always been extremely grateful.”

Peter Clarke

(RGS 1945-1950)

“As a mum of a current bursary recipient, I knew that I wanted to give back so that more children can benefit from a wonderful education. While I don’t have the means to support the Changing Lives campaign in my lifetime, I know first-hand the impact that leaving a legacy can have, which is why I have left a proportion of my estate to the bursary fund.”

Claire Minter (Current parent)

“My form master, Sid Andrews, said ‘Blackie, you have taken it too easy for too long’. He could have so easily been right and that would have altered my destiny. The reason for leaving a gift in my Will is to give a little help to someone less fortunate.”

Peter Blackwood (RGS 1939-1946) 1928-2015

“I made my Will in the mid-1980’s after the birth of my grandson. When I received a letter from the Foundation asking me to consider leaving the bursary fund something in my Will, I added an instruction to my executor, who is also the chief beneficiary. I was of the view that I was already making a monthly contribution and my legacy would give me an equivalent over the next few years enabling me to continue giving after I had gone.”
