Leave a legacy for Welsh wildlife

Write your will for FREE* 

Giving a gift in your will is the kind of gift that lasts a lifetime (and some). Not only does it help your loved ones to have a plan in place, but these special gifts help us to protect precious Welsh wildlife!

We’ve partnered with expert will writers, Octopus Legacy (formally known as Guardian Angel), to make leaving this kind of long-lasting impact even easier.

  • IT’S FREE: We’re delighted to be offering our members and supporters the chance to write your will for FREE, and the opportunity to help us to protect puffins, rescue red squirrels and secure a wilder future! 
  • IT’S FLEXIBLE: With Octopus Legacy you can write your will online, with easy-to-use step-by-step support. Their team of legal experts check over each online will, which is legally binding when it’s printed and signed by a witness, saving you time and stress. Octopus Legacy also offers telephone and face to face will writing services for those that would rather speak to a solicitor, to find out more and to book an appointment simply call the team on 0800 773 4014 and quote 'the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales'.
  • IT’S SIMPLE: And it doesn’t stop there. We know how busy you are, so you can have it done and dusted in just 15 minutes, but if you need longer you can come back to the process whenever you're ready. Simple as that. 

 Protecting precious Welsh wildlife just got easy. How it should be.
