A gift in your Will helps keep Eden growing

Just over 25 years ago Eden began with a vision - that even the most lifeless places can be transformed.

By leaving a gift in your Will, you become part of that vision, and help ensure this magical place will continue to lead, generate and inspire for the next 25 years and beyond. 

Your legacy will not only safeguard Eden Project Cornwall for future generations, but deliver world-class environmental education workshops to every UK schoolchild, connect people with nature and each other, and boost biodiversity.

Because the future still remains ours to make.

How your gift could make a difference

We are a charity, built on hope, optimism, and the principle that humans can do incredible things when they come together. 

Our future projects will address some of the most pressing issues of the 21st century: nature depletion, mental and physical health risks, social cohesion and climate adaptation.

A gift in your Will could...

  • Transform Eden Project Cornwall into a revitalised global hub for environmental education, regenerative tourism, and climate action — a place that inspires visitors to reconnect with nature and empowers them to make meaningful change
  • Cultivate the next generation of change-makers with the provision of world-class environmental education workshops that equip children and young people with the knowledge, confidence and values needed to become champions of our planet
  • Help address the mental health crisis by reconnecting people with nature and each other through structured nature-based activities
  • Build community resilience by bringing people and neighbourhoods together for the Big Lunch
  • Boost biodiversity through the creation of new wildflower habitats across the UK 

A gift in your Will leaves a legacy of hope for generations 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.

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.
