Free Wills Month: write a will for free and leave a legacy for nature
This October, Earthwatch Europe supporters can write or update their will for free and take a simple step towards protecting nature for generations to come.
Have you been meaning to write or update your will? If it’s been on your to-do list for a while, Free Wills Month is an opportunity to get it done in as little as 15 minutes. With our partner, Octopus Legacy, you can write your will online, over the phone or in person, at no cost to you. During October, a simple will is covered up to a value of £150, while wills including a trust are available at a discounted rate.
Make a difference that lasts
A will isn’t about what you leave behind. It can also be a way to support the causes you care about. By leaving a gift to Earthwatch Europe, you can help protect and restore nature through scientific research and community action, helping us to respond to the decline of nature in our cities, countryside and rivers.
Rebecca Ward, Individual Giving Manager, explained:: “Lots of us are keen to support the planet, while also having a will on our to-do list – so this October is a great opportunity to tick off both. Leaving a gift in your will is a powerful way to make a difference that lasts. Our Legacy Makers are helping to give future generations hope for a healthier, greener planet, and we’re incredibly grateful for their commitment to nature.”
“In a world where many people are losing hope for the future, Earthwatch Europe’s work demonstrates the measurable positive impact that scientifically sound, community-led micro projects like Tiny Forests can have. I feel proud to be able to make a contribution.”
– Cassie, Earthwatch Legacy Maker expains why she chose to leave a gift
We’re proud to have a growing community of Earthwatch Legacy Makers like Cassie. To recognise their commitment, we created a plaque at our first Tiny Forest in Oxfordshire, where every new Legacy Maker will have their name engraved.
