Your Faith, Their Future

Imagine a world where everyone is part of a loving community. A world where people are valued and connected, and their needs are met. Where refugees are welcomed and homelessness no longer exists.

That’s the world God intended.

By leaving a gift in your will to Church Urban Fund you can help to ensure our work can continue, as we never know what the future will bring.

"A good person leaves an inheritance for their children's children." Proverbs 13:22

Gifts in wills account for approximately 1/3 of our income. So by leaving a gift in your will to Church Urban Fund it is a way for your faith to reach forward and shape future communities. It’s a gift of love and compassion to people who need the most help. It will be your lasting legacy.

Will you leave a gift to Church Urban Fund in your will and create a lasting impact on future generations?

JOHN’S LEGACY

Dad volunteered with the church as a statistician towards the end of his career,” says John’s son, David. “It took him around the country and he saw deprivation up close. It changed him. He made a journey of discovery. In fact, he wrote at the time: Love must respond to what it sees.” When John died in 2023, aged 98,CUF was one of the charities to benefit from his (and his wife Elaine’s) generosity.

ALISON’S PLEDGE

Alison, a Church Urban Fund trustee has pledged a gift in her will.

“I can’t give a huge amount now, but including CUF within my charity beneficiaries is my way to keep supporting a cause that’s important to me.“ CUF is about making the church strong. Showing God’s love in action. Empowering Christians to get involved in their communities. That’s vital today – when communities are splintered – and it will be even more important in the future.”
