Generous benefactor leaves ACT legacy

Posted by Catherine Flitcroft on 02/03/2015

The BMC's Access and Conservation Trust (ACT) aims to promote sustainable access to cliffs, mountains and open countryside by facilitating education and conservation projects across the United Kingdom and Ireland. Thanks to your donations, we can continue to do this.

In December 2014, ACT gratefully received a significant donation from a generous benefactor and member of Midland Association of Mountaineers.  This legacy will mean that we can continue to help protect and repair footpaths in the National Parks as well as access & conservation improvement projects at popular climbing venues such as Avon Gorge and the Pembrokeshire coast. Please click here for a list of recent projects the charity has helped support.

All legacy income given to the BMC Access & Conservation Trust is spent directly on projects to protect your cliffs and mountains across the United Kingdom. Any charitable gift that you decide to leave in your will is exempt from inheritance tax.

ACT is a small charity that depends on legacies and donations to help continue protecting and improving the places we love to visit.  A gift in your will is an incredible way to help protect those aspects of our mountain and cliff environments that you have cherished over the years.

For more information please click here or if you would like to discuss legacies with someone at the BMC, please contact the BMC access team on 0161 445 6111 or email office@thebmc.co.uk for more information.
