Leave a Legacy in your Will

The National Memorial Arboretum is the only national centre of remembrance where people can come to remember loved ones who died in the service of their country, the public or in other tragic circumstances.

Every day children, widows and widowers, friends and families find friendship as they celebrate or pay tribute to their own special someone. The wide-open spaces and memorials host public and military commemorations. The woods and gardens bring solace to those who wish to remember in private.

It takes an enormous amount of work and money to keep the National Memorial Arboretum thriving and welcoming to all who want to visit. Some examples are:

  • Annual tree surgery £14,000
  • Garden and grounds maintenance £30,000
  • Building repairs and maintenance £103,000

Every year we need amounts like this, just to keep on top of things.

Once your family and friends are taken care of, you could consider leaving a gift of money, property or a percentage of your estate to the National Memorial Arboretum. Your legacy will help meet rising costs in the future and will help ensure the National Memorial Arboretum stays open, and free, for everyone.

Your legacy can help bring peace and hope

Like a mighty oak tree, your gift will grow every year. Its benefit will be seen on every new leaf, branch and flower.

Anyone who finds peace in the beauty of the trees or who feels closer to a lost loved one will directly benefit from your legacy.
