Why I’m using my Will POWER

I was brought up in Camborne, west Cornwall, and I attended Truro School between 1973-80. I still remember my first day in September 1973, walking up the hill to what felt an imposing main school terrace. In fact, Truro was a great school for me and it opened my eyes to a much wider world.

When I reached my mid-fifties I felt it was time to think about what I could do to help another generation. My parents had died and so my direct connection with my home county was now gone. Making a Gift in Will to the school felt like a great way to keep a link with Cornwall.

It was much easier than I thought. Its not a complex process and being able to set a sum aside, is something most of us can manage. You don’t have to be a millionaire.

Making a gift in my will is a simple way to help the next generation. The opportunities I enjoyed are something which I’d like to see extended to others and the bursaries which are available help people from all walks of life.

I would really encourage everyone to take this simple, but important step. The Truro School Foundation (charity number 1070969) have been easy to deal with and I am sure would be happy to help with any queries.
