Legacies – a lasting memorial to support the Church
When you make or change your Will, you will obviously be thinking about your family and friends. But you could also make a gift to the Church. For example, you might decide to remember the parish in your Will and here are just a couple of examples of legacies that have been given to parishes in this Diocese:
- St. Joseph's Parish, Brighton – Legacy used to repair external fabric of this listed church.
- St. Charles' Parish Worthing – Legacy used to refurbish and improve the parish hall.
It's up to you to decide how you want to support the Church. The Diocese has provided detailed guidance and this can be found in the link below.
How Helping The Church Can Help You
If you are single, the Government will take 40% in tax on everything over the Inheritance Tax threshold and that may well affect you if you own property. But everything that you give to the Church as a charity will be tax free, so you can use a legacy to reduce the amount of tax that will be paid.
