A GIFT IN YOUR WILL

Sheila Mortimer at Llyn Gwynant, Snowdonia
Make the gift of a lifetime

'Why be ordinary when you can be extraordinary? Anyone can leave a legacy to the National Trust and it doesn’t have to be for a lot of money.'

Sheila Mortimer is a remarkable woman. She has amended her will to include a gift to the National Trust.

Anyone can include a legacy to the National Trust in their will and it does not have to be for a lot of money.

Some people leave us specific gifts of money, while others choose to leave us the residue of their estate once family and friends have been looked after.

But, whether you give £200 to preserve a stile, £2,000 to help maintain a beautiful garden, or £20,000 towards the protection of the coastline, your gift counts.
Why leave a gift to the National Trust?
