Leaving a gift in your will 

From restoring world-famous art to protecting wildlife habitats, gifts in wills are used right at the heart of our work. You can help care for the places that are special to you by remembering us in your will and leaving a lasting legacy for future generations.

Free will writing 

We've partnered with a number of specialists so anyone can write or amend a will for free online, over the phone or face-to-face. While there's no obligation to leave a gift to the National Trust, we hope you'll consider supporting our vital work in this way.

Volunteers discover a message in a bottle 

Our volunteers play a vital role in all of the work we do. In this blog, Knole archaeology volunteers Brenda Jarvis and Veronica Walker-Smith share a discovery made in the attics, and their research on a message from the past and its maker.
