Would you help us change the world by remembering the Eden Project in your Will?

Why leave a gift to the Eden Project?

The planet is under threat endangering its ability to sustain life as we know it. We face many challenges: biodiversity loss, climate change, water pollution, and food security issues. But there is still time to turn things around. 

Eden Project is a charity, and every gift from amazing supporters like you empowers our mission to demonstrate and inspire positive action from the planet.

Gifts in Wills support our work to:

  • Respect the natural world and demonstrate that people are part of - not apart from - nature
  • Protect wild spaces and enable them to thrive
  • Repair damaged spaces that need to be fixed

For example, Eden is home to the National Wildflower Centre, working to reverse ecological decline and bring wildflowers back into the UK’s living culture. Gifts we have received have meant that we can clean and provide storage facilities for threatened species, and plant hectares of wildflowers.

Every gift to Eden helps us to achieve our mission and improve our world for current generations, and those to come.

Why do I need to make a Will?

Your Will defines two very important things: who should inherit your money, property, and possessions; and who will be in charge of following the instructions you leave in your Will. Everyone needs a Will, regardless of age, health, or wealth. 

Having a Will gives you peace of mind, by ensuring that your loved ones are provided for and your final wishes are carried out. It is also an opportunity to support the causes that have been significant to you in your lifetime, and invest in your vision for a better future.

How do I leave a gift in my Will?

We've partnered with expert estate planners, Octopus Legacy, so you can write or update your Will for free*.

The cost of your Will is covered by us up to the value of £150 - so you can write or update a simple Will for free or get a Will with a trust at a discounted rate.

While many supporters choose to include a gift in their Will to the Eden Project, there's no obligation to do so when using this service. 

You can write your Will online, through a telephone or video call, or in person (either at home or in-branch).

Click the button to get started, or call Octopus Legacy directly on 020 4525 3605 and quote 'Eden Project'.

*Applies to simple Wills only. Discounts are applicable for Wills with trusts.

What if I already have a Will?

It is a good idea to regularly review your Will to ensure that it still meets your wishes; this is particularly important if your circumstances change or you would like to add or remove beneficiaries.

You can discuss making updates with your solicitor, or you are welcome to make use of our partnership with Octopus Legacy to create a brand new Will for free.
