Legacy gifts provide key support for churches to help grow their ministries, support their communities and care for their beautiful historic buildings. These incredibly powerful gifts can make such a difference to the life of the church and can be used for general or specific purposes as chosen by you. If you would like to discuss this with someone at your church then please register your details using the button below and we will forward these to the right person at your chosen church.
If you haven't yet written your will, the Church of England have partnered with online will-writing company, 'Farewill' to help you create your will and a limited number of new wills are being offered for free! It takes under 30 minutes to complete and you will be asked during the process whether you would like to leave a gift to a church in your will. There is no obligation to do so, but we hope you will consider how a gift could help your church to continue making a lasting difference in your community.
For more information on using Farewill, please visit the Church of England's Free Wills webpage. Alternatively use the button below to use Farewill to start making your will.
The Church of England’s Church Legacy webpages offer essential information for individuals considering leaving a gift in their will to their local church, Executors, solicitors acting on behalf of clients, churches looking to encourage legacy giving in their parish or receiving a legacy gift and Christians wishing to find out more.
