Could you consider leaving a gift in your will to CAT?

Leaving a donation to CAT in your will is the most precious of gifts to us. It’s a thoughtful, long term gift that will help build a sustainable future. Many of our supporters help CAT in this way, and we are full of gratitude for their commitment to CAT and the brighter world they are creating. Our beautiful site in Mid Wales is dotted with plaques to honour the memories of those who have supported us in this most meaningful of ways. “What’s always impressed me about CAT is how practical and feasible its work is and how committed everyone is. CAT’s education and teaching work is passing on knowledge to create new reservoirs of people equipped to put into action practical solutions to the problems we face. Being aware and concerned about the environment has been part of my life for decades. I hope by leaving a gift in my will I can continue to make a contribution to CAT’s vital work in the years ahead for future generations.” – Janet Upward, CAT Member
