Leave a gift in your will
London’s wild future is in your hands. Make it come alive with a gift in your Will
Imagine a London alive with wildlife… teeming with buzzing insects. Filled with birdsong. Bursting with colour and plants. A London rich in nature that’s not only recovering, but thriving. That’s London’s wild future. And it’s in your hands. When you leave a gift in your will to London Wildlife Trust, you help create a nature-filled future for our city.
It will be your beautiful, green, lasting gift to London.
