Leave a Legacy
A gift in your will means the love and support you have shown to those living in poverty will continue for generations to come
Legacies fund one-fifth of our overseas work and enable us to make long-term commitments to communities in need.
There are no quick fixes for poverty but a gift in your will - however large or small - will support the future work of our partners and offer practical help and hope to communities across the world.
However you have supported us in the past, a gift in your will is a simple way to continue caring and ensure your faith and values live on far into the future.
We understand that family and friends come first but, once you have taken care of your loved ones, please take a moment to consider leaving a gift to CAFOD - it will make a real and lasting difference.
