Leave a gift in your Will

In an ever uncertain landscape, we don’t know what the future for young musicians is going to look like.

Leaving a gift in your will means we can continue to nurture young musicians - whatever challenges the future brings. 

Dr Michael Janson and Varuni would be proud of the excellent work and reassured that the fruits of their life’s work will be shared with future generations to preserve their memory in some way. Each of us has an obligation to make the world a better place before we depart - Michael and Varuni more than fulfilled their obligation and it is comforting to know their legacy is secure with YCAT

Mr Rick Tresher (Friend of Michael and Varuni) 

How legacy gifts change lives

Without legacy gifts, we wouldn't have been able to continue our work or support as many young musicians as we have in the past 35 years.

Young artists need a platform to get their voices heard and YCAT gave me mine. YCAT helped me build a platform for the work I'll do for the rest of my life while giving me the time and space to experiment, even make mistakes. 

Benjamin Baker (YCAT Artist 2015)  

We’re here to help

If you’re thinking about or have already left a gift in your will to YCAT, please get in touch - we’d love to hear from you. 

Please contact Alasdair Tait (Chief Executive) on email: [email protected] or Phone: 020 7379 8477.

Thank you! 

If you do decide to leave a legacy to YCAT, we’re grateful for any gift - large or small. Your generous support means that we’re always able to help the generations of young musicians when they need it most. Thank you!
