CAFOD is the official Catholic aid agency for England and Wales

Free will-writing service for friends of CAFOD

CAFOD is part of the Network – a group of charities and solicitors working together to give charity supporters the chance to make or update a simple will for free. More than 300 of our friends have already taken advantage of this great offer and you could join them this in enjoying the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’ve made provision for the people and causes closest to your heart.

There’s no obligation to remember CAFOD, or any charity, in your will but we hope you’ll take a moment to imagine the incredible difference your gift could make.

Create a fairer world for all God’s children

By leaving a gift in your will you could make a real and lasting difference for future generations. You can provide for your family and friends here in the UK and also offer help and hope to your global family. Every gift in every will makes a difference.

Legacies fund over a tenth of our work. They enable us to make long-term commitments to communities in need and also to respond quickly to emergencies.

“We made our wills and we’ll make a difference!”

Imelda and Chris with two of their grandchildren.

Our good friends, Imelda and Chris Wightman, wrote their wills using the National Free Wills Network.

“We needed to get our wills updated because, like many people, our last will was made soon after our children were born. And now we’re grandparents! CAFOD’s offer prompted us to act upon our good intentions!

“The solicitor was very good and the process very quick and painless. We both like the idea of leaving a charitable legacy and CAFOD was the obvious choice for us. We know the difference CAFOD makes every day to the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves.”
