Leave a gift in your Will
A charity gift in your Will is a special way to reach out to future generations.
Did you know that you can choose to leave a donation to CAFOD in your Will in memory of a loved one or into your Candlelight Fund?
A gift that can build a better world
Leaving a gift in your Will to CAFOD allows your faith, love and hope to continue for years to come. These special gifts really are acts of love - they have the power to transform lives.
These gifts can be a lovely way to commemorate your loved one by making your gift in memory of them or in a Candlelight Fund. You can find suggestions below on how you can word this gift, or you can contact Lily from the gifts in Wills team for more information.
