🌍 Today is International Legacy Giving Day

A gift in a Will can be a very special way to say thank you.

It can be a way to remember the support you or someone you love received, give something back to a cause that has been part of your life, or help protect something you care deeply about for generations to come.

Throughout Will to Give Week, we've been sharing stories from charities across Northern Ireland that show just what these gifts can make possible, from supporting people and communities to creating new opportunities and protecting animals and the natural world.

Today, on International Legacy Giving Day, we join organisations around the world in celebrating the generosity of people who choose to make a charitable cause part of their legacy.

After taking care of family and loved ones, even a small gift can help a charity continue its work long into the future.

A gift in your Will can say thank you today and make a difference tomorrow.

What could your legacy make possible?

Kindness continued.

As Will to Give Week 2026 comes to a close, this week we've shared just some of the many ways a gift in a Will can make a lasting difference.

We've heard how gifts can help charities support people through difficult times, create opportunities for the future, provide compassionate care, and protect animals and the natural world.

For some people, leaving a gift in their Will is a very special way to say thank you for support they or someone they love received during their lifetime.

For others, it's a way to give something back, protect something they care deeply about, or help ensure that future generations have opportunities and support.

But each gift has the potential to allow kindness to continue long into the future.

A huge thank you to all of our Will to Give members who have shared their stories with us this week, and to everyone who has helped us spread the word about the difference gifts in Wills can make across Northern Ireland.

Your kindness can become your legacy.

A legacy can create opportunities that continue for generations.

During Will to Give Week, we’re sharing just some of the ways gifts in Wills are helping charities build for the future.

At L’Arche Belfast L'Arche Belfast Community, a generous legacy helped make it possible to secure and develop the land that became the L’Arche Village. Today, more than 100 adults with learning disabilities and autism attend each week, taking part in activities including horticulture, cookery, arts and crafts, music and dance.

At Queen's University Belfast, the late Dr Claire Slattery left a gift to support the next generation of medical students. Her legacy now funds the Slattery Family Scholarship, helping students pursue further study and potentially careers in medical education.

And at Evora Hospice, Alan has chosen to leave a gift in his Will so that families he will never meet can continue to receive compassion, dignity and support when they need it most.

The things we care about during our lifetime can continue making a difference long after it.

09/09/2026

What do you want to protect for the future?

For some people, leaving a gift in their Will is a way of ensuring that the animals, wildlife and landscapes they have loved during their lifetime continue to be cared for.

Long-term RSPB supporter Marlies has chosen to include the charity in her Will because she wants future generations to inherit a world where people and nature can thrive together.

As she puts it:
“It’s all helping future generations.”

For USPCA, gifts in Wills are fundamental to its work. Legacies currently provide 58% of the charity’s income, helping fund animal rescue, rehabilitation, veterinary care, rehoming and support for pet owners across Northern Ireland.

A gift in a Will can carry our values forward.

It can protect what mattered to us.

And it can continue creating change long after our own lifetime.

What could your legacy make possible?

What could your legacy make possible?

For many charities, a gift in a Will means being able to continue supporting people during some of the most difficult periods of their lives.

For AWARE NI, legacy pledger Alan chose to include the charity in his Will after experiencing its work first-hand. First through mental health training and later as a volunteer Group Facilitator. Alan says that knowing his gift will help vital services continue into the future fills him with pride.

At Action Mental Health, one family shared how much the organisation had meant to their late brother during his lifetime. His sister remembered the “quiet wee triumphs” of the good days he enjoyed following support from Action Mental Health and explained that the gift he later left came from his appreciation of everything the organisation had done for him.

And through services such as Age NI Advice Line, older people like John are receiving practical help that can transform everyday life, helping people remain active, connected and independent.

Gifts in Wills help charities continue being there when people need them.

Will to Give Week 2026 starts today.

For many people, leaving a gift in their Will is a very special way to say thank you.

It might be a thank you to a charity that supported them or someone they love. A way of giving back to an organisation that made a difference during their lifetime. Or simply a way to ensure that a cause close to their heart can continue making a difference for others in the future.

This Will to Give Week (7-11 September), we’re celebrating those very personal reasons for giving and the lasting impact they can have.

Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing stories from Will to Give members across Northern Ireland, showing how gifts in Wills are supporting people and communities, creating opportunities, caring for animals and protecting the natural world.

We’ll also be bringing our members together on Wednesday for a special legacy fundraising workshop, helping charities strengthen their approach to gifts in Wills and engage supporters in meaningful conversations about legacy giving.

Follow us throughout the week as we share these stories and celebrate the kindness that continues through gifts in Wills.

A gift in your Will can be a very special way to say thank you and help something you care about live on.
