Leaders from four denominations are once more coming together with Christian Aid, to encourage people to talk about leaving gifts in their wills to the charity, and to their church.

The pioneering initiative – called Faith Will – was launched last year and involved the Church of Scotland, Church of England and the Quakers. This year, they are joined by the United Reformed Church.

Their aim is to encourage congregations from any denomination to sign up for free resources to hold a Faith Will moment, making it easier to talk about the power of gifts in Wills and how people’s generosity can help create change in their communities and around the world.

Faith Will spokesperson Kerry McMenamin said: “Gifts in Wills are already transforming communities, near and far. Last year more than 200 churches signed up to receive our free resources to help them have these conversations and this year we aim to double this; there’s so much opportunity to raise awareness about this powerful way of giving.”

A range of free resources, including a short film and leaflets for congregations, is available at www.christianaid.org.uk/appeals/key-appeals/faith-will
