Leave a gift in your Will

"Only when the last prisoner of conscience has been freed, when the last torture chamber has been closed, when the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a reality for the world's people, will our work be done"

Peter Benenson, founder of Amnesty International 

Kids in Hackney get active with AfroReggaeAt the very core of Amnesty is the belief that the actions of individuals can make a difference. What better way to demonstrate this than by leaving a legacy to us and helping to change the future for the better?

Having an up-to-date will is probably one of the most important things you can do to ensure your wishes will be carried out exactly as you wanted. And it's the only way to protect the rights of your children and loved ones.

You can also make a contribution to a future that keeps Amnesty in the picture, fighting for everyone's human rights.

Amnesty is a movement that produces extraordinary results. Prisoners of conscience are released. Death sentences are commuted. Torturers are brought to justice. Governments are persuaded to change their laws and practices.

Our achievements have a huge impact on the lives of individual people. And a gift in your will will make us even stronger in the years ahead.

How to include Amnesty in your will

Making or changing a will doesn't have to be hard work or expensive. You can request a free will guide, which tells you more about how to leave a gift to Amnesty in your will.

If would like to amend your existing will to include Amnesty, please fill out the codicil form (pdf) and return it to your solicitor.
