Leaving a lasting impact

Leaving a gift in your will to ACN UK will ensure that a real difference will be made to the lives of persecuted and suffering Christians around the world. ACN can only benefit directly from your estate if it is named in a valid Will. Any money you leave to a registered charity is exempt from Inheritance Tax. At ACN UK, we believe that people should be free and safe to follow their Faith in God and to live by the teachings of the Lord.
