September is Legacy Giving Month – How can a gift in your will make a difference to those living in need?

If you’ve never made a will, you’re not alone. It’s one of those things that is easy to put off. But, after considering loved ones and family first, leaving a gift in your will to a cause you care about is a chance to leave a lasting difference.

For generations, Irish missionaries have been a quiet but powerful force for change, living and working for decades alongside communities facing poverty and injustice around the world, sharing daily life, earning trust, and staying long after other supports have moved on. They provide education, healthcare, and the tools needed to break the cycle of poverty. Last year, Misean Cara supported more than 50 Irish missionary organisations in 40 countries worldwide.

A one-off donation can meet an urgent need. A gift in your will can do something more: it can fund the years of steady presence that real change requires. By leaving a gift, large or small, in your will to Misean Cara, you can help sustain long-term programmes that bring hope, dignity and lasting change to some of the world’s most vulnerable communities.

You Can Be Part of the Legacy of Irish Missionaries

A gift in your will to Misean Cara can help communities for generations, by giving them the skills and knowledge to build secure futures for themselves.
