Donate to the Chagos Islands campaign

In Spring, the Chagos Islands campaign legal team won a huge victory against the UK Government's attempt to remove Chagossians currently living on the Chagos Islands.

Now, in Autumn, we need funding to cover legal costs — to keep representing Chagossians in their fight for self-determination and to protect the Chagos Islands from being given away.

This is a critical moment. Help us fight on.

Throughout August and September 2026, all donations to Friends of the British Overseas Territories go towards the Chagos Islands campaign.

Donate in your will

Friends of the British Overseas Territories have led raising awareness of issues impacting upon our UK family since 2013. We’ve been there providing support when hurricanes hit, when environmental issues are ignored and when local charities including museums, schools, and communities require a helping hand.

A gift to Friends of the British Overseas Territories in your will means we can continue to be there, long into the future. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to support nearly as many people as we do.

Any gift you may wish to leave, of any size, can be a lifeline to our Overseas Territories in need of support when a crisis happens.

To discover the impact a gift in your will can make, request our free information pack by emailing enquiries@fotbot.org

We are pleased to be a member of the 'Remember a Charity in Your Will' organisation.
