Why leave a gift in your Will?

We are making great progress

Thanks to generous legacy gifts we are making great strides towards achieving our vision of beating cancer.

More and more people are beating cancer thanks to our groundbreaking research. In fact, cancer survival rates have doubled in the UK in the last 40 years, and our scientists have contributed to most of the world’s top cancer drugs.

Watch this short film to see our very own Dr Kat Arney explain how legacies are helping to turn the most exciting research ideas into better treatments for patients:

It's only with support like gifts in Wills that we'll be able to ensure this vital progress continues into the future. Please consider leaving a legacy to us and help beat cancer.

Financial benefits of leaving a gift in your Will

Legacies are generally exempt from inheritance tax, so a gift in your Will to Cancer Research UK could be tax free for us and in some circumstances could reduce the amount of inheritance tax your loved ones are liable for. If you would like more information, please visit the HMRC website.
