Gifts in wills

Legacy gifts are one of the most significant ways of ensuring our work continues – by remembering us when you make your will, you’ll help secure the future of our ocean and the wildlife that depends upon it.

Your legacy could make a huge impact to the ocean

Our oceans are in crisis, and we are passionate about our commitment to making positive change to protect them.

By leaving a legacy as part of your will you can join us in fighting for the future of our seas, and support our work to restore precious marine habitats.

Our goal is to recover the health of the ocean; for the sake of our wildlife, our climate and our own wellbeing.

Together we can make a difference. Together we can safeguard our seas for future generations.

If you have pledged a gift to the Marine Conservation Society in your will, we’d be grateful if you would email our team at giftsinwills@mcsuk.org, notifying us of your intentions.
