Write a free simple Will with one of our trusted partners
There is no obligation to leave a gift to BTO with either of the two free Will offers from Octopus Legacy and the National Free Wills Network, but many people choose to do so as a way of supporting a cause that has been important to them during their lifetime.
By choosing to leave a gift in your Will to BTO, you’ll remain at the heart of our vital work as we strive to maximise our impact and secure a better future for birds, nature and people for years to come.
We’re glad to have got our Wills updated and our wishes clarified. It’s good for us to think we will be supporting organisations we greatly value, including the BTO, into the future.
