GIVING TO YOUR CHURCH

Leaving a Legacy

Legacies are a lifeline for our churches. Each year around 5,000 people leave a gift in their will to a Church of England parish. In total, parishes receive around £50 million in legacy gifts each year – gifts to finance mission projects, maintain beautiful church buildings and grow faithful communities.

For many people, leaving a gift in their will is a final opportunity to make a lasting gift to God. It is also a way to make a lasting difference to the future of their church and community. The Church of England has produce a helpful leaflet which will help you explore how you can make provision in your will for a legacy to the Church.
