- Develop inclusive outreach programmes
- Support emerging scholars and artists
- Ensure the long-term care of Kelmscott House and its archives
Types of Gifts:
- A percentage of your estate
- A specific sum of money

How to Leave a Legacy
It’s simple to include a gift in your will. We recommend speaking to a solicitor or professional adviser. Suggested wording:
“I give [X% of my estate / £X / item] to The William Morris Society, Charity No. 1159382 of Kelmscott House, 26 Upper Mall, London W6 9TA, for its general charitable purposes.”
If you’ve already made a will, you can add a gift by using a codicil or updating it.
Please do let us know if you’ve included us — we’d love to thank you and keep you engaged with the society and its activities.
If you would like to confidentially discuss your support of the Society, please get in touch by emailing wmsadmin@williammorrissociety.org or by phone on 0208 741 3735
