Legacies
Leave a legacy of hope
Leaving a gift to Church Homeless Charity in your Will is a powerful way to support homeless people – not just today, but for years to come.
Your legacy will live on in the lives of those it helps: young people escaping unsafe homes, families starting again after fleeing abuse, veterans adjusting to civilian life, or those overcoming trauma and addiction.
With your support, they won’t be alone.
A gift that keeps reaching people in need
You may not be able to give now, but a gift in your Will can extend your compassion into the future, helping us reach more people in more places.
Every year, demand for our grants rises. As an independent charity we rely on the generosity of individuals like you to meet that growing need.
By remembering Church Homeless Charity in your Will, you can:
- Support a small charity making a big impact
- Make a gift that costs nothing in your lifetime
- Help us plan for the future with confidence
- Continue your values and compassion beyond your lifetime
- Charitable legacies may reduce Inheritance Tax on your estate

Could 1% change someone’s future?
For many people, writing a Will means thinking first about family and loved ones. That’s exactly as it should be.
But after making provision for those closest to you, you may find there is room to leave a small gift to a cause that has been important to you throughout your life.
Some supporters tell us they would have liked to give more during their lifetime, but much of their wealth was tied up in their home or other assets. A gift in a Will can be an opportunity to continue the generosity that has shaped their life and values.
You don’t need to leave a large sum to make a meaningful difference. In fact, many people choose to leave a percentage of their estate rather than a fixed amount.
For example, a gift of just 1% of your estate can ensure that your loved ones remain your priority while also helping people experiencing homelessness long into the future.
That 1% could provide hundreds of grants over time, helping people move into a home of their own, access training and employment opportunities, recover from trauma, reconnect with family, or take the next step away from homelessness.
If more people chose to leave even a small percentage of their estate to charities they care about, countless lives could be changed.
It is a simple way to ensure that the values you lived by continue to make a difference for generations to come.
A gift in your Will is more than a donation. It is a lasting expression of who you were, what you believed in, and the future you wanted to help create.
