Gifts in Wills Autumn Newsletter 2025

Welcome to the Gifts in Wills Autumn Newsletter 2025

We would like to take this opportunity to give our sincere thanks to everyone who has included the University of Glasgow in their Will, and those thinking of doing so in the future.

Gifts in Wills provide almost one third of philanthropic income to the University each year, playing a vital part in changing lives far into the future. By remembering the University in your Will, you give a gift which costs nothing to make now but will advance our world-changing research, learning and teaching for the benefit of generations to come.

We hope you enjoy reading our Autumn Newsletter 2025 and join us as we celebrate 10 years of the 1451 Society, honouring your generosity and impact.

With best wishes from Gilmorehill,

The Legacies Team
