Remember a Charity Week
7-13 September 2026
Every September, Remember a Charity Week helps raise awareness about the importance of leaving a gift in your will. Many people aren’t aware that they can support charities in this way, but leaving a gift in your will can have a huge impact on the causes close to your heart.
Find out how leaving a gift in your will to BBOWT can make a vital difference to our local wildlife and how BBOWT’s free will-writing partnerships can help to make the process simpler.
