How legacies make a difference

Whether you are an alumnus, a former member of staff or a friend of the University, by choosing to remember Surrey in your will you can help to enrich the lives of students and support ground-breaking research.
Large or small, your gift matters. While the University has been lucky to receive substantial bequests in the past, smaller amounts can also make a big difference, for example by helping to alleviate student financial hardship.
Leaving a legacy is a truly personalised and versatile form of giving. Many alumni, staff and friends have a strong link with a specific area of the University; their former department, a sports team, the library, medical research, scholarships or student hardship support. Your experiences and memories of the University can help you decide how you want to support the next generation of students and staff.
"People might think that a legacy has to involve a phenomenal amount of money but if a number of people leave a little, then it soon becomes a lot. Surrey has helped us have a very good life and, if we can give that back, we will rest very easily."
Janet Preston (Physics, class of 1978)

Free Will Service
This year, the University of Surrey are delighted to have teamed up with Guardian Angel to offer our Alumni community a free will service.
If you live in England or Wales, you can write your Will online today. It is completely free and takes about 15-20 minutes to complete the online Will which will be checked by Guardian Angel's legal experts once submitted. You may choose to leave a gift in your Will to the University, but there is no obligation to do so if you wish to use the service.
