Leave a Gift

A legacy for the future

Leaving us a gift in your will means you can be there to protect and care for wildlife – even after you have gone. Your legacy could help bring us closer to restoring balance in the natural world and provide a better future for endangered wildlife and their homes.

Never before has the biodiversity of our planet been under such pressure as a result of human activity but with your support, we can continue to connect people with nature, develop innovative solutions to protect wildlife and their natural habitats and inspire the next generation of conservation leaders. Our vision is for a planet where people and wildlife can live in harmony with one another.

Together, we can continue working to save endangered wildlife for generations to come.

Leaving a gift in your will to Marwell Wildlife

Making a will is one of the most important things you can do to ensure that your loved ones and the good causes that you are passionate about will be provided for in the future. Once your loved ones have been taken care of, leaving a gift to Marwell Wildlife is a powerful way to support our conservation, education and animal care work. You can choose to leave us an affordable sum or a percentage of your estate – that decision is yours.

If you already have a will and would like to make a change to include Marwell Wildlife, you can use a codicil – which is a separate instruction that is kept with your will. It’s also easy for your solicitor to adapt your existing will, simply get in touch with them to discuss it further.

What information do you need?

To leave us a gift in your will, please give your solicitor or person drafting your will the following information:

  • Registered Charity Name & address: Marwell Wildlife, Owslebury, Winchester SO21 1JH
  • Registered Charity Number: 275433

If making a payment from an estate by cheque, please make the cheque payable to Marwell Wildlife and send it to the registered address (above), for the attention of the Head of Fundraising.

Your support means the world to us

We know that making a will is a very personal thing. You don’t have to let us know if you have left a gift to Marwell, just know that we are incredibly thankful. If you’re happy to share your intensions with us, we’d love to have the opportunity to thank you in person. You can let us know by contacting a member of our team at fundraising@marwell.org.uk or on 01962 777992.

A legacy for tigers in Bhutan

Thanks to a legacy gift, in 2023 we were able to launch an innovative new project to protect tigers. The project brings together traditional conservation methods with cultural heritage; to celebrate the spiritual connections the people of Bhutan share with tigers. The project was only made possible thanks to the generosity of a supporter and a gift in their will.
