Leave a legacy gift in your will for Shropshire's wildlife and wild spaces
Your gift makes a big difference
Wildlife in Shropshire is declining at an alarming rate. We are determined to create a county where wildlife can flourish and leaving us a gift in your will can help us do this. You could help us achieve remarkable things. Recent gifts in wills have enabled us to:
- Monitor a population of pine martens and learn about their habitat requirements, we can now work with local landowners to create woodland suitable for them to thrive.
- Improve our visitor centre in the heart of Shrewsbury, creating a base where people can discover more abut our work and escape the hustle and bustle of the busy streets.
- Turn the Stiperstones back to purple, restoring heathlands to create a wild landscape full of rich heather.
- Research and help conserve the declining curlew in the uplands of South Shropshire.
Anyone can leave a gift to Shropshire Wildlife Trust when making a will. No matter how small it will help us safeguard habitats and ensure our vision for a landscape rich in wildlife.
Free Online Will Writing Service
We have teamed up with online Will-writing service Octopus Legacy to offer our supporters a free Will Writing service.
Visit the Octopus Legacy website quoting SWTFREE or call 0800 773 4014 quoting 'Shropshire Wildlife Trust'.
Octopus Legacy will help you choose inheritors, protect your loved ones, prepare instructions for treasured keepsakes and offer advice on donating a percentage of your estate to charity if that is something you would like to do. For a limited period, you can access a free will-writing service via Octopus Legacy. There is no obligation to leave a gift to the Trust in your Will, but any intention to do so, large or small, will be valuable in our work for nature’s recovery.
Legacy pledge
Whilst many members and supporters may plan to leave us a gift in their will, very few tell us. However, as we plan for the future of Shropshire Wildlife Trust it can be useful for us to know if people do intend to support us. We don't need to know any details other than that they intend to make a bequest. If you would like to let us know, please do contact us, the details are below.
"I have always cared about the environment and dedicated the last 2 decades to managing land for wildlife, it is important to me that in the future Shropshire Wildlife Trust will ensure my land is protected and my vision is sustained."
Pam, legator.
