Leave a gift in your Will
A charity gift in your Will is a special way to reach out to future generations.
CAFOD is partnering with 24 Catholic charities to highlight the impact of gifts in Wills this Catholic Legacy Week 2-8 June.
Members of the Your Catholic Legacy Consortium
CAFOD is a proud member of Your Catholic Legacy - a group of Catholic charities working together to protect the future of Catholic causes by encouraging gifts in Wills.
Every year we celebrate Catholic Legacy Week, which this year is 2-8 June. At this time all the member charities come together to highlight the impact of gifts in Wills and promote this very special way of supporting their work.

Help to build a better world
Working together as part of Your Catholic Legacy helps to raise awareness of the impact of legacy gifts to the work of Catholic charities.
At CAFOD, legacy gifts fund a third of our support to communities fighting injustice and poverty and make it possible for us to respond to emergencies quickly.
Walk through this Jubilee year in hope
CAFOD has worked together as part of Your Catholic Legacy for over 10 years. This Catholic Legacy Week we are asking people to consider making a pledge in this Jubilee Year and leave a gift in their Will to their favourite Catholic causes.
A gift in your Will is a step on your journey... A way to continue your lifelong walk of faith. You can support the causes you care about and leave a lasting mark on the world.
“We must fan the flame of hope that has been given us.” Pope Francis
