28 Jun Pestalozzi joins The Goodwill Partnership
Pestalozzi joins The Goodwill Partnership to offer home-visit, best practice, solicitor provided Wills to its supporters and volunteers.
Pestalozzi was formally opened in the UK in 1959, welcoming 40 children from war-torn countries in Europe to live and be educated in the UK. For the next forty years Pestalozzi provided a home and education for children from conflict zones in Europe, Africa and Asia.
Today, Pestalozzi awards scholarships to exceptional 16-19 year olds who are academically gifted but have limited educational prospects in their home countries. Pestalozzi students live for two years in a multi-cultural, multi-faith community in East Sussex where they welcome difference and embrace diversity. Students complete their A-level education at local colleges and undertake a broad range of extra-curricular activities, fulfilling the Pestalozzi principles of education for the Head, Heart and Hands.
Gifts in Wills to Pestalozzi International Village Trust ensure students with academic skills gain the quality education they need to help them make a lasting difference in the world.
Susan Walton, CEO of Pestalozzi says: “To leave Pestalozzi a gift in a Will is to give the Gift of an Education, and to offer remarkable young people the opportunity to make a difference in the world. We receive no government funding and Gifts in Wills make an important contribution to our income. We are delighted to be working with the Goodwill Partnership to offer a convenient best practice Will-writing service to our supporters.”
Mark Jackson, Co-Founder of The Goodwill Partnership says: “By partnering with us Pestalozzi can offer Will-writing services to its supporters which allows them to leave a legacy if they so desire. We will provide the charity with a monthly report of legacy donations bequeathed, as well as the monetary value of the donation, if permitted by the donor.”
