How your gift could help
We can’t predict the wars, conflicts or oppressive regimes that will force people to seek asylum in the future. But a gift in your Will could make sure that anyone seeking protection can build a new life here in the UK. Leaving a gift in your Will is an act of kindness that will change the world for the better and ensure that your values live on in our work.
