A GIFT IN YOUR WILL

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. But it needn't be an effort - it took Sheila less than 45 minutes to include the Trust in her will.

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 more coastline, your gift counts.

Why we need your gift
'It is wonderful to know that I will have made a difference... giving joy to countless generations who come after me.'

Why others have left gifts
Arthur Swann's love for the coast began during the war. His kind gift helped protect the coastline he cared for so passionately.

How to leave a gift
Remembering the Trust in your will isn't difficult. It takes as little as 45 minutes. And the benefits will last forever.
