Gifts in Wills

Inspiring people to care for our marine wildlife

By pledging a gift in your Will, you will be helping us to inspire more people to learn about Scotland's marine environment and to take steps to care for it. Like you, we can't imagine a world without our iconic and internationally important seabirds and marine wildlife and habitats, but many of these are in decline and urgently need our help to recover. Your gift will help inspire others to get involved in caring for our precious marine and coastal environments.

How a gift could help

Leaving a legacy is the ultimate way to support a cause you care about. We value every gift received whether it is modest or more substantial. Gifts enables us both to plan future projects while continuing our important work day-to-day.

Your gift could:

• Help seabirds, marine wildlife and habitats to recover by tackling the human activities that threaten them and supporting practical habitat restoration (including seagrass meadows).
• Inspire future generations to be marine ambassadors and advocates for a healthy marine environment by supporting our education and outreach activities.
• Increase community action for local coastal and marine environments through programmes that increase awareness and build skills, experience and capacity for action.
• Help deliver informative, interactive and fun exhibits and activities that get people involved in caring for our marine environment.
