Or you can post a cheque, made out to the Frank Longford Charitable Trust, to PO Box 72887, London N2 2FG.

A Gift In Your Will

We have been fortunate in our first 20 years to be left a small number of legacies to support the trust’s work in offering second chances to young serving and ex-prisoners, individuals like Lee Cutter (whose award-winning soap sculptures are shown right).

As we enter our third decade, we have established an endowment fund to secure the long-term future of the trust. If you are thinking of making a donation to this fund, including by a Gift in Your Will, please contact Peter Stanford, our director.


How To Gift Aid It

If you are a UK taxpayer, the Longford Trust can claim back from the Treasury 25 pence for every £1 you give us, but we can only do this if you complete the declaration (right). If you intend to make regular donations, all can be included.
