73% of church leaders talk about lifetime giving in their church but only 24% talk about gifts in Wills.

- Christian Aid Church Legacy Report, 2021.

This Remember a Charity Week, we're helping churches to talk about gifts in Wills.

Two-thirds of people who leave a share of their estate to Christian Aid also leave a gift to their church. We know that by equipping churches to talk about gifts in Wills, together we can transform both our local and global missions.
