We know that your family and loved ones must always come first. But after you’ve provided for them, donating a gift to the Community Centre in your will is a great way to leave a lasting, positive impact to the Village and Community we all love.
“Legacies are one of the most effective ways you can make an enduring contribution to the life of our community, here in Hadlow Down. Leaving a gift to the Community Centre will help us continue to provide the very best environment and facilities for generations of village residents, young and old, now and for many years to come.”
Bob Lake, Chair HDCC
It is a simple and straightforward way of giving, without affecting the immediate financial needs of yourself and your family. All gifts left to charities in a Will are also exempt from tax and could reduce your inheritance tax rate by around 10%.
Making a Will is an important step and it is recommended that you seek professional legal advice. If you decide to support us by making a bequest, please note that the beneficiary should be Hadlow Down Community Centre, Registered Charity Number 1158375
You can find out about that impact and more, in our legacy information pack. Please contact Sarah Prall sarahprall@btinternet.com or Jules Sherwood jscltd01@gmail.com for more information.
Building a Legacy: Hadlow Down’s New Community Centre
Fifty years ago, the people of Hadlow Down came together with a vision—to provide their village with a dedicated recreational space that would serve generations to come. Their commitment led to the purchase of land for what is now the Hadlow Down Playing Field, a cherished community asset that has hosted sports, events, village Fayres, Parties and countless other memories over the decades.
Now, half a century later, that same spirit of community and forward-thinking ambition is driving the next chapter in Hadlow Down’s history: the creation of a fantastic new Community Centre on the very land that was secured for village recreation all those years ago.
This new facility will not only enhance what the original founders envisioned but will also expand opportunities for social, sporting, and cultural activities, ensuring that Hadlow Down continues to thrive. Just as those before us saw the importance of providing space for sport and gathering, today’s generation is embracing the challenge of creating a modern, welcoming hub that will serve residents of all ages for decades to come.
By building on this legacy, the community is not just honoring the past—it is investing in a future where Hadlow Down remains a vibrant, connected, and inclusive place for all.
