This week, CAFOD joins 24 other Catholic charities to celebrate Catholic Legacy Week - a special moment to celebrate the extraordinary impact that gifts in Wills make to the causes we love.
Legacy gifts are truly transformative. They fund a third of our support to communities fighting injustice and poverty around the world, and they make it possible for us to respond quickly when disaster strikes. Without these gifts, much of this work simply wouldn't be possible.
CAFOD is proud to have been a part of Your Catholic Legacy for over 10 years. We're a group of Catholic charities working together to highlight the impact of legacy gifts and invite Catholics to support the causes closest to their heart.

A gift in your Will ensures CAFOD can be there when it matters most. Responding quickly when emergencies strike and working alongside communities for the long term, as they tackle the root causes of poverty and injustice. Your legacy gift won't just help people access the essentials they need when times are hardest; it will help challenge the unjust systems and structures that have kept people in poverty for too long, allowing them to build better futures.
If you’re interested in supporting our work in this very special way, our free Will-writing guide is a wonderful place to start. It includes practical tips, example wording and a planner to help you take those first steps with confidence.
You can also write your Will for free through our free Will-writing service either online or face-to-face with a local solicitor.
If you'd like to find out more about gifts in Wills or our free Will services, our Legacy team would love to hear from you.
