Leaving a legacy with will provision to give to charity

Darren Kennedy is one of the few Irish people who has made provision in his will for part of his estate to go to charity, writes Liz O’ Brien.

When TV presenter Darren Kennedy was bullied as a teenager he’d come home and snuggle up to his dog Rascal, because that’s what helped take his pain away.

The expression about a dog being a “man’s best friend” certainly applies to him; that’s one of the reasons why he has decided to leave a donation to the Dogs Trust charity, in his will.
