Gifts in Wills
Leave 1%, protect 100%
Every gift, no matter how large or small, helps create a lasting impact. When you include us in your Will, you are playing a key role in preserving the beauty of the Lake District for generations to come. Even a small contribution can make a significant difference.
"Even 1% can be left to the Lake District Foundation, ensuring those closest to you inherit 99%."
Leaving a gift in your Will to the Lake District Foundation is a powerful way to ensure this stunning landscape is protected for the future. By leaving just a small percentage of your estate – whether it’s 1% or more – you contribute 100% to preserving the Lake District’s unique landscape, wildlife and heritage.

Impact
Projects supported by gifts in Wills
In 2024, we were incredibly grateful to receive two generous gifts in Wills. These contributions, no matter the size, have a profound impact on our work here at the Lake District Foundation. They support ongoing conservation projects and help us plan with confidence for the future.
Fix the Fells
One gift in 2024 supported this vital project, restoring and maintaining paths across the Lake District’s high peaks, preserving the landscape for future generations.
Lake District for Everyone
Gifts in Wills have enabled us to run initiatives like Lake District for Everyone, a project dedicated to exploring and identifying the barriers that prevent people from fully experiencing this beautiful national park. Thanks to generous gifts, we are working to make the Lake District more accessible and inclusive, ensuring it remains a welcoming space for all to explore - now and in the future.
