HWHC 1894 Society

The 1894 Society

By letting us know that you will include Hampstead & Westminster Hockey Club in your will, you become a member of the 1894 Society.

The 1894 Society was established in July 2022 and enables us to recognise and thank those members of our community who choose to make a legacy gift. When including the club in your will, please recognise us as 'Hampstead & Westminster Hockey Club (HWHC Limited (charity registration number 1129592))'.

1894 Society Members are invited to an annual reception hosted by the 1894 Society President and HWHC Trustees.

Legacy giving and inheritance tax

Hampstead & Westminster Hockey Club is a registered charity (charity registration number 1129592), and any gifts made to the club are therefore exempt from UK Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax. Current HMRC rules provide that if you leave 10% or more of your net estate to a UK charity, you can reduce the Inheritance Tax on the rest of your 'net estate' from 40% to 36%.

Illustrative example

Below is an illustrative example for a UK resident with an estate of £425,000 (correct as at December 2025). Please visit the HMRC website or speak to your solicitor for more detailed information if required.
