Leave a legacy

Why it matters

Legacy giving is one of the most powerful ways to enable mission that lasts.

It is not just about money, but about hope, partnership and faith in action. By including USPG in your will, you give future generations of the global Anglican Church the chance to flourish.

At USPG those gifts translate into theological training, community health programmes, education, disaster response and climate justice work with our partners around the world. 

A gift today helps someone tomorrow in a place you may never visit, but whose future you help shape. 

Leaving a legacy is my thanksgiving offering for all God has provided throughout my life. I have so much to be grateful for and I wanted to show my gratitude through this gift that will keep giving to people in need. I am very proud of USPG and would like to know that the organisation will continue serving the world community for many years.

Linda, USPG Legacy Pledger

Share God’s love

As an Anglican mission agency, USPG believes that every legacy is part of a faithful story, a story that connects you to communities in Africa, Asia, the Pacific and beyond. The Bible calls us to lay up treasures in heaven, “where neither moth nor rust destroys” (Matthew 6:20). 

By leaving a legacy, you affirm that faith doesn’t end with our lifetime, it travels on in service, in hope, in love. Your gift is a signal that the gospel continues to shape lives long after we’re gone.

Nigel’s Story

For Nigel Wildish, supporting the worldwide Anglican Church has been a commitment spanning decades. From first supporting USPG, to becoming a trustee in 2010, Nigel’s connection with the worldwide Church has continued to grow and now he is planning to leave a gift to USPG in his will.

Over the years, that connection has taken Nigel around the world and introduced him to people and communities whose faith and witness have stayed with him including a chance encounter with a Bishop from Myanmar.

USPG is proud to be a member of Remember A Charity, a UK-wide campaign that brings together over 200 charities to raise awareness about the importance and impact of leaving gifts in wills.

Contribute to a Brighter Future for Sri Lanka’s Tea Communities

Legacy gifts enable our church partners to fund long-term development programmes, such as the Plantation Community Development Programme led by the Diocese of Colombo, within the Church of Ceylon.

Many people living and working in Sri Lanka’s tea plantations have endured years of isolation and unfair treatment. This has led to poor living conditions for families, limited medical care and a lack of education for children.

The Plantation Community Development programme provides education for children, including preschools, non-formal education classes, seminars and scholarships for government exams as well as for High School and University students.

The programme also offers medical support to pregnant mothers and advocates for the human rights of the tea plantation communities including improved living conditions.

By enabling children to access education and learn about their rights, your legacy can be their future.
