Let your compassion live on!
By leaving a gift in your Will to Compassion UK, you can leave a legacy for the future and make a lasting impact.
Your gift will be used in three ways:
If you choose, your gift can support any children you sponsor until they complete their time in the Compassion programme. We’ll even find someone else to write letters and pray for them. Check out our FAQs for how to make this happen.
Any extra money will be used in partnership with local churches across Africa, Asia and Latin America to deliver life-changing programmes that release even more children from poverty in Jesus’ name.
Gifts from generous legacy donors have already: protected children in Kenya with mosquito nets, boosted literacy in Togo with a resource library, and supported sustainable income in Indonesia.At its heart, your gift will continue to show love and the transforming power of Christ to vulnerable children, families and communities in the countries where Compassion works.
When we follow Christ’s lead and move with compassion, we can trust that God will use us to bring hope in ways we may never fully see.
For more than 70 years, we've partnered with local churches and continue to follow Christ’s lead—ensuring every gift is used wisely to benefit the children who need it most.
Why I decided to leave a legacy gift to Compassion
“I’ve been sponsoring children through Compassion for about 20 years, and I really like the charity’s holistic approach.
Back in February 2008 I travelled with a group of Compassion Advocates to Peru. It was impressive to see the commitment of local Christians helping the children in their care at the projects.
So, when it came to updating my Will, it was natural to decide that I should include Compassion. I want my money to be well spent, and I feel confident that Compassion will spend it wisely.”
Ann Markowe, Legacy Donor
