Your Legacy
![Why make a will?
It’s one of the last things that we think about, but one of the most important things that we can do
before we die. An astonishing 70% of people die without having made a Will which, in effect, means
that the law decides what happens to your assets after your death. In the absence of a Will no
charitable gifts will be made. If your estate is taxable and charitable gifts are made, this could reduce
the inheritance tax payable on your Will. Often we are blessed with gifts from supporters who have
decided to leave all or part of their estate to the work of Interserve. Their gift ensures that the work
that they supported during their life, can continue after their death. If you would like to include a gift
in your Will to Interserve, then this page may help you.
Making an ongoing impact

Interserve exists to empower the poor, serve the sick, support
the disabled, give voice to the voiceless, tell the good news
about Jesus and help build the church. To this end, Interserve
places people into some of the most challenging places on earth,
including areas of the UK.
Where we work, across 30 countries in Asia and the Arab world,
66,000 people are dying every day without hearing the good
news about Jesus. The scale of the task that we engage in is
breathtaking. For example, did you know that:
> One in five Afghan children die before the age of five
> Four million people in Dhaka alone live in slums
> Alcoholism in Mongolia causes 60% of all domestic violence
The work that we are involved in enables us to see lives and communities transformed through
encounter with Jesus Christ. Your gift, through your legacy, will ensure that Interserve’s work can and
will continue.
Please let us know if you are considering leaving a gift to Interserve Ireland in your Will by writing
to us at the address overleaf or by calling 028 9040 2211 and asking to speak with the Finance
Director.
