Legacies left with love

Northumberland Wildlife Trust is delighted to have been named as a beneficiary in two recent legacies.

Joyce Reay from Whitley Bay had been a Trust member for 34 years and, following her death towards the end of 2013, she bequeathed a £55,000 legacy, which has just been paid to the wildlife charity, following the settlement of her estate.

Eric Whittle who, most latterly, resided in Southend-on-Sea, was also a Northumberland Wildlife Trust member for 34 years. He bequeathed a £70,000 legacy following his death, which again, the Trust has just received following the settling of his estate.

Jane Speak, Head of Business Management at Northumberland Wildlife Trust said; “The selfless generosity of both members is hugely appreciated and these sums are significant amounts of money which will be used carefully to continue the Trust’s valuable conservation work.

“If you are inspired by the wildlife and landscapes in our Region, please consider leaving us a legacy to safeguard them for future generations.”
