The 1845 Society
The 1845 Society is a group of likeminded individuals, passionate about young people and investing in our future through education.
Everyone who intends on leaving a legacy gift to the College - no matter how small - is welcomed into the 1845 Society. The Society is our way of thanking and recognising legators in their lifetime, being able to celebrate your gift before it has been received.
How Legacies Have Helped
At the outbreak of the invasion of Ukraine, the College was able to rapidly respond by offering places for Ukrainian children fleeing war. Existing legacy income helped to provide a sanctuary to these children, who, now settled, are blossoming in their new life and have futures to look forward to.
Legacy Gifts from OBs ensured a fast response, and the legacy gifts in turn inspired others to support, enabling more places to be offered to more children.
Tailor Your Gift
We encourage OBs to leave unrestricted gifts in their Wills, enabling the funds to be used where needed most. If you would prefer to allocate your donation to a particular area such as scholarships, sports or facilities, please contact us to discuss your wishes. Legacy Gifts of over £20,000 can enjoy further acknowledgements such as naming opportunities, to recognise the impact of your donation and kindness.
If you have yet to notify us of your intention to leave a gift to Brighton College in your Will, to find out more about The 1845 Society, or to discuss your wishes for your donation, please contact Jennifer Deane jdeane@brightoncollege.net 01273 704250.
