Many of our wonderful supporters tell me that they would like to do more to help refugees, and they are inspired when they find out how transformational a gift in their Will can be.

We are so appreciative that they’ve made the choice to leave a legacy to the world’s refugees. With record numbers of people continuing to flee their homes due to conflict, persecution or disaster, the generosity of donors has never been more important.

Your bequest will ensure UNHCR teams can reach more civilians escaping the frontlines of conflict, and also provide longer-term support with education, healthcare or livelihood projects – today and into the future.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions about how you can create your legacy, including how we may be able to gift match your bequest.
