How one legacy gift can, one day, help to end extreme poverty.
One person does have the power to help end extreme poverty – by leaving a gift to Concern in their Will.
One gift has so much power because it can support people experiencing extreme poverty to utilise their determination, skills and initiative to build a better future for themselves and their children – and inspire others to do the same.
You don’t have to leave a large amount to have a huge impact – giving even one percent of your estate can help create the fairer future that we all want to see. That’s because your one gift will be added to those of your fellow supporters to help fund the long-term Concern projects that have the power to deliver lasting change.
That’s the Power of One.
