When thinking about the future, how far does your mind wander?  Most of us probably spend little time thinking about what will happen when we are gone, but it can be a useful exercise especially if there are charities close to your heart, whose vision and work you care about.  

This month is Free Wills Month so it's a good time to think about creating or updating your will and part of that, alongside looking after your family and friends, might include considering leaving something to a charity or a number of causes that are important to you.  In the UK legacy giving has almost doubled in the last decade, showing that many people are choosing to make a statement about what they value as part of their legacy planning. The benefits for the charity sector are significant.

If you value the work of Punchdrunk Enrichment you might even consider whether a gift in your will to continue our work could be right for you.  The immersive theatre and learning experiences that we produce can create memories that last a lifetime.  This could be part of your legacy.

There is more information on how to write a will and include a gift for a charity at Remember a Charity.  UK Government also provides a useful guide

We want to say a big thank you to those donors who have already let us know that they have included Punchdrunk Enrichment in their own legacy planning. This is a commitment which is truly valued.

I know that writing a will is not the first thing most people think about when they attend a theatre production, but for me it’s been a no-brainer. When I unsuspectingly walked into my first Punchdrunk show it completely took me by surprise, and the world has looked a little bit different ever since. I’d like as many people as possible to experience that magic of finding something you didn’t even know you needed in your life. That’s why I love Punchdrunk Enrichment's work - it reaches people who can’t help but be completely bowled over by the world that has been created for them, and I believe it has the potential to change lives.
