By remembering the Peace Pledge Union in your will, you can make a significant and lasting difference to the promotion of pacifism, and a valuable contribution to the continuation of our campaigning for a world without war.

Your legacy gift will enable us to:

• Promote a message of peace and active nonviolence.
• Provide educational resources on issues such as conflict resolution and the causes of war.
• Remember all victims of war of all nationalities through the distribution of white poppies.
• Challenge everyday militarism in our communities.
• Provide a challenging voice in the media and public about military spending and recruitment.

The Peace Pledge Union has been promoting pacifism since 1934 and gifts in wills have been vital in helping us fund the movement for change.

You’ve put your beliefs into action through your engagement with the Peace Pledge Union. Will your legacy also be one of peace?

How to remember us in your will

Share of your Estate
Also known as a residuary gift, this is the remainder of your estate after you’ve provided for your friends and loved ones.

Specific Gift
The gift of a particular named item that you want to pass on, such as a painting, a piece of jewellery, or even a property.
