We live on a blue planet, for 70% of the world's surface is covered by water, but the threats to our seas and wildlife are growing. Pollution, habitat destruction and over fishing are just some of the problems that the Marine Conservation Society is battling against for the survival of our seas.

Income from legacies is vital in helping the Marine Conservation Society to protect endangered species and habitats.

Making a Will

Making a Will can not only help to ensure that your loved ones have a secure future, but by leaving a gift in your Will to MCS you help to ensure the seas and the life within them have a long future too.

Making a Will doesn't have to be costly or complicated. MCS has put together a guide you can download here to help you understand some of the terminology used and the different ways you can support our charity work. To have an informal chat about supporting MCS in this way please contact the Fundraising Office via emailing Marianne.steele@mcsuk.org or calling 01989 566017.

Let us know

Should you decide to leave a gift in your Will to us we would be grateful if you could let us know. Naturally, this will be treated in the strictest confidence and is not binding in any way.

Inheritance tax

Any money left to a charity is free from inheritance tax. This means that a legacy in a Will to the Marine Conservation Society not only helps a good cause but will reduce any inheritance tax payable on the estate - and may help to avoid any tax being paid at all.
