Gifts in Wills

Help us look after the Cotswolds into the future.

When you leave a gift in your will to Cotswolds National Landscape*, it will help ensure that we can continue to keep the Cotswolds a special place. It will help us continue to deliver our two leading purposes: to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the Cotswolds, and to increase understanding and enjoyment of its special qualities.

How to leave your legacy

If you would like to leave a gift in your will, we recommend that you speak to a solicitor to ensure that your wishes will be carried out as you intend.

You will need to take our organisation details with you:

Cotswolds Conservation Board (Cotswolds National Landscape)
Registered address: Cotswold Business Centre, Unit 11, 2 A P Ellis Rd, Upper Rissington, Gloucestershire, GL54 2QB

Your solicitor will advise, but here is an example of wording you could use:

I leave my / X share (s) of my residuary estate for Cotswolds Conservation Board, Cotswold Business Centre, Unit 11, 2 A P Ellis Rd, Upper Rissington, Gloucestershire, GL54 2QB absolutely for its general purposes and I declare that the receipt of the treasurer or other proper officer for the time being shall be a sufficient discharge to my executors.

Cotswolds National Landscape

*Cotswolds National Landscape is the new name for the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The new name takes forward one of the proposals of the Government-commissioned ‘Landscapes Review’ to rename AONBs as ‘National Landscapes’. This change reflects the national importance of AONBs and the fact that they are safeguarded, in the national interest, for nature, people, business and culture.

Cotswolds National Landscape and Cotswolds Conservation Board are the trading names of the Conservation Board for the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Cotswolds Conservation Board is an independent statutory body established by Parliamentary Order in 2004. We are not a registered charity.
