Leave a gift in your Will

This could be the most powerful sentence you ever write.

After caring for your family and loved ones, leaving a gift in your Will to English PEN is a powerful way to ensure the defence of freedom of expression continues beyond your lifetime.

By leaving a legacy to English PEN you will join a community of forward-thinking writers and activists who want to give future generations the gift of creative freedom.

How your gift could help

  • It could help defend a persecuted writer who has yet to be arrested.
  • It could help campaign against a suppressive Bill that has yet to be tabled.
  • It could translate and publish an important masterpiece that has yet to be written.

While we cannot predict the exact threats to free expression in the future, your legacy – no matter its size – will ensure English PEN remains ready to defend the right of writers.

Will you join us for one final act of solidarity?

For over 100 years English PEN has stood up for writers whenever they come under attack. With your support, our commitment to protecting freedom of expression and to standing up for writers at risk will live on.

If you would like more information about leaving a gift in your Will to English PEN, or if you would like to discuss your wishes, please contact Charlotte Aston, Head of Development, [email protected].
