Diarmuid Gavin Encourages People In Tipperary To Consider Leaving A Legacy Gift In Their Will
Renowned gardener Diarmuid Gavin is calling on people in Tipperary to ‘grow their legacy’ as part of this year’s My Legacy Month campaign, which was officially launched this week.
As the 2021 campaign ambassador, Diarmuid is encouraging people to consider leaving a legacy gift in their will to a charity that means something to them.
Commenting at the launch of the campaign, Diarmuid said:
“Even thinking about making a will is a taboo for some.
It’s something we don’t like to confront. It almost feels like we’re tempting fate.
That’s why a campaign like My Legacy Month is so important – it encourages us to think about our wishes and allows us the space to consider what we want in our wills.
Once family and friends have been taken care of, do we have room to leave a legacy gift to a charity we admire?
I hope that my own legacy will benefit our natural environment – a place of beauty and biodiversity, an environment which enhances my life enormously and gives me great joy.
This month, I would encourage people to consider what they would like their legacy to be and to have those conversations with their loved ones about considering a charity in their will.
Legacy gifts large or small can have a huge impact and it’s important that we make it a greater part of the fabric of society.”
