Your legacy has the power to change lives
Please remember Children at Risk in your will
David Alton MP (now Lord Alton of Liverpool) launched Jubilee Campaign in Parliament in 1987. Since then, Jubilee Campaign has been a force for good – children rescued, laws changed, tyrants challenged…
This has only been possible because of the prayers and gifts of our faithful supporters. Now, I am asking our friends to take one step further with us – please remember Children at Risk in your Will.
After caring for your family, anything you can spare will be designated in our Legacy Fund. I promise that your legacy will go directly to specific projects where we know our contribution isn’t wasted or duplicated and can bring real and lasting change. The only support we get is from our friends who care enough to give.
Thank you for considering my request to leave a legacy for Children at Risk in your Will.

Legacies change lives
These friends left us a legacy. This is the difference they made.
JOAN’S WELL
Mrs Joan Booth-Middleton left us a legacy in her Will. We used this bequest to drill a second bore hole in Muzondo, Zimbabwe. As a result, an extra 2,000 people have access to clean water. Later, it became possible to start a Community Farm using water from this second pump.
ANNE’S GIFT
Mrs Anne Shaw-Kennedy entrusted a gift to us in her Will to be used “where the need is greatest”. The full sum was used to feed the children in the Jubilee Rescue Homes, South Asia, for three months.
IN DAD’S MEMORY
In tribute to his father, Simon Blanchflower helped pay to extend the Community Farm. “My father John was a teacher with a passion for gardening. He would have been delighted that part of his legacy was this farm in Muzondo that will have a transformative impact at such a time of adversity.”

Who your legacy will help
Ariko
Children like Ariko in Zimbabwe who lives alone with his grandfather. Before Jessie’s House opened, food was scarce. Ariko was left alone for long stretches while his grandfather tried to provide what he could. Now they both eat every day from Jessie’s House Farm where Ariko’s grandfather volunteers his gardening knowledge, almost lost from years of devastating drought. Ariko attends Jessie’s House Academy Infant School.
He dreams of becoming a teacher.
Amy
Children like Amy in the Philippines, who Fr Shay Cullen helped to take legal action against her abuser. Amy is a diligent student and The Jessica Smith Scholarship Fund enabled her to continue her studies.
Over 200 children have been supported by our scholarship fund
Glory
Girls at risk like Glory – she was on sale for £150 as a 9-month-old baby in a notorious red light district but rescued by our partner (Rev Devaraj). Glory grew up in a loving family environment at the Jubilee Homes.
Glory has now graduated university in South Asia with a masters degree in psychology.
