Support

There has never been a more important time to support LPW, and we asking for your help to secure our future. Your support helps us play valuable role in the region’s cultural ecology, advocating for the value of public printmaking facilities and knowledge, which nurtures talent, promotes learning and civic engagement with our constituencies.

As a National Portfolio Organisation, about a third of our annual funding is provided by Arts Council England, and as a registered charity we raise funds from memberships, donations, trusts and foundations, and corporate partners to support our programmes and care for our building and facilities.

Ways to support

Leave a legacy

You can make a lasting difference and help secure our future by leaving a legacy or bequest in your Will. Leaving a legacy helps us to plan and secure our future with confidence and educate and inspire future generations through our work.

Anyone can leave a legacy to LPW. You may wish to support us with a residuary gift, which is a gift of all or part of the value of your estate, once all your other commitments have been settled, or with a targeted or specific gift of money.

You may wish to leave a legacy to support LPW in everything we do, or something more specific. Whatever you choose to support will be extremely important to our future work.

Leaving a bequest to LPW could also help reduce any tax burden on your estate. Liability for Inheritance Tax may be reduced or eliminated through a gift in your Will to LPW. Visit the Remember A Charity website to find a solicitor in your local area who can advise you on leaving gifts to charities as part of your Will.

We understand that your Will is personal to you, so there is no need to inform us of your pledge unless you wish to do so. However, if you would like to tell us about your plans we would be grateful as this will help us with our forward planning and enable us to provide you with appropriate information and invitations.

If you would like to talk to us to discuss your plans in confidence, email our board of trustees at administrator@leicesterprintworkshop.com

Corporate opportunities

As a corporate supporter, your organisation will develop a tailored, personal relationship with LPW, designed to benefit your employees, clients, and partners. Corporate supporters enjoy a bespoke sponsorship package. Opportunities include sponsorship of our exhibitions and events, and corporate team building sessions.

If you are interested in discussing how you could partner with LPW to offer support and for any corporate enquiries, please contact our Operations Manager on k.kneller@leicesterprintworkshop.com

Make a donation

Thank you for considering making a donation. By supporting us you will help ensure that LPW can take the best care of our public workshop and presses, provide mentoring opportunities for young people and nurture artistic talent.

Whatever the size, your donation will make a real difference, helping to enrich lives, allowing us to extend our schools outreach work, which engages young people with big ideas using art and printmaking as tools, and expand on our public and participatory programme to take our work outside of LPW and into the wider community.

If you are a UK tax-payer, LPW can claim 25% of the value of your donation in gift aid, at no extra cost to you.
