The RNLI depend on gifts in wills for 3 out of 5 lifeboat launches but most adults in Ireland haven’t written their will. A spokesman for the campaign said: "A gift in your will (or legacy gift) is a great way to help a charity you care for because it costs nothing now but can have a real impact in the future.
"Appointments are limited and fill up quickly, so we recommend calling to book your Free Wills appointment sooner rather than later to avoid missing this opportunity to put your affairs in order while doing something good for charity."
