What’s Your Liverpool Legacy? Together we can achieve more
After making sure those closest to you are taken care of, remembering us in your Will is an extraordinary way to celebrate your life while supporting the causes that are important to you.
Building on our past, focused on the future
Our university is a powerful legacy shaped by philanthropy and generosity. Since our founding in 1881, people just like you have shaped Liverpool through acts of extraordinary kindness which have created life-changing opportunities for countless generations of students.
In 1882 the University College Liverpool opened its doors to just 45 students, today our vibrant community has grown to over 30,500 students per year, a testament to the vision and generosity of our supporters past and present.
Help us to create positive change that improves lives
Whatever the size of your gift, you have the power to be a changemaker at the University of Liverpool.
Did you know that you can leave as little as 1% of your estate to the University as a charitable gift in your will, and a gift of 10% may help reduce inheritance tax on your entire estate?
By joining our legacy community, you can inspire future generations of learning, spark discovery and societal impact and drive transformation and growth. Heartfelt gifts will help us to touch the lives of millions of people around the globe through helping support inclusive education initiatives and ambitious world-leading research.

Mary Ann Hughes' Liverpool legacy: A lifelong commitment to supporting students
Mary Ann Hughes, who sadly passed away in 2022, studied at the University of Liverpool in the mid-1960s. Inspired by her travel adventures with her parents and siblings as a little girl, she decided to study Geography and gained her degree in 1967. We feel honoured that Mary chose to continue her story at Liverpool through a gift in her Will and her kindness and passion for education will be her lasting legacy.
