Leave a gift in your will
“Anyone who cares about wildlife has a marvellous opportunity to do something quite unique, by remembering their local Wildlife Trust in their will.
This generous act is one of the most important things you can do to make sure the species and habitats we love will be there for future generations to enjoy." Sir David Attenborough
A gift in your Will is a simple yet powerful way to keep your wishes alive.
No matter how big or small, your gift can help Cumbria’s wildlife in the future.
Cumbria Wildlife Trust was formed in 1962 by a small group of local people who were concerned about the loss of the places and wildlife they cared about. More than 60 years on, we are still protecting this legacy and the wildlife we all love.
Over the years, gifts in Wills have directly purchased land that we look after as nature reserves, improved habitats for threatened species and helped some of our most loved wildlife return to our fells and valleys.
We thank all those who have contributed so much to conservation in Cumbria over the years and those who will contribute in the future. If this is you: thank you.

Our promise to you
We will always respect your privacy. We understand that your Will is completely personal to you. We understand that your family and loved ones will always come first.
Because we're committed to protecting Cumbria’s wildlife for the future, we always encourage people to leave something to the Trust. However, we appreciate that it’s your decision and you need to make it in your own time.
You can tell us that you have left a gift to Cumbria Wildlife Trust if you want to, and we’d love to hear, but you do not have to.
We assure you that your gift will be used carefully and cost-effectively so that it has the greatest possible impact on wildlife conservation in Cumbria.
If you would like your gift to be used in a particular way we are happy to discuss your wishes, otherwise we will use it where the need is greatest when the time comes.
At any time in the future you have the absolute right to change your mind about a gift in your Will to Cumbria Wildlife Trust.
