Legacies & Significant Gifts

We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done. - Psalm 78 v 4

Since the early part of the twentieth century, SU Scotland has been reaching out to children and young people. With support from those like yourself, we have been helping those exploring the Bible and responding to the significance of Jesus for almost 100 years. We are still committed to encouraging young people to investigate the implications of the Christian faith, and still need your help to do so.

Gifts that supporters have left in their wills, sometimes called legacies, have been a tremendous blessing to the ministry of SU Scotland. These gifts have enabled us to support staff roles as they organise and develop ministry, they have made significant investment in our activity centres and campsites and have relieved pressure in times of financial uncertainty.

Will-making offers a wonderful opportunity to express the compassion which has marked our lives, a chance to bless family, friends and causes which are close to our heart and, above all, to thank God for his provision.

Would you consider leaving a gift in your will to SU Scotland, to encourage and build up future generations of young people?

Please read our Legacy brochure available here.

If you would like a physical copy of the brochure or more information from SU Scotland on making a gift in your will, then please call: 0141 352 7619 or email Elaine at legacies@suscotland.org.uk.

If you could let us know of your intention to support us in this way, it would also be a great encouragement.

SU Scotland has been blessed over the decades by generous investment from individuals, families, trusts and churches.

While we believe that every gift is from God, we recognise the increased responsibility for careful stewardship of larger gifts.

If you are interested in making a gift of £5,000* or more to the ministry of SU Scotland, we would recommend first contacting Mark Beattie, our Donor Relationships Manager. Mark is best placed to discuss your plans confidentially or connect you with a relevant member of our Leadership Team. Gifts may be applied to general costs, a ministry of your choosing, or potentially to meet a specific need of which you are currently unaware. You can make a single opportunistic gift, or a strategic investment over a set time scale. 

A significant gift enabled SU Scotland to purchase Lendrick Muir in 1998, while further giving has facilitated upgrades to Alltnacriche and Gowanbank. Other substantial gifts have financed ministry positions and resources, purchased adventure activities and assisted young people from disadvantaged communities to access our programmes.

Each gift made will contribute to children and young people finding somewhere safe and welcoming where they can explore the Bible and respond to the significance of Jesus.

We would be delighted to start a conversation with you to match your passions to our vision.
