Forever helping hens

Have you ever wondered how you can help hens even after you're gone?

Legacy giving is a meaningful way to ensure ex-commercial hens enjoy the freedom they deserve for years to come. By leaving a gift in your Will to the BHWT, you’ll help us save more lives, support like-minded hen keepers who also care for our hens, and campaign for better welfare standards across the industry.

Planning for the future can be difficult, but writing a Will is an important way to ensure your wishes are known. Naturally, your loved ones come first, but after that, it is your chance to consider the legacy you want to leave behind. Even leaving just 1% of your estate to a cause close to your heart can make a huge and lasting difference.

Adding the BHWT as a beneficiary is easier than you think—and it means your kindness to hens will continue. Every year, thousands of hens leave commercial farms with nowhere to go. Your legacy can change that.

No matter the size of your gift, it can help secure a brighter future for our feathered friends.
