Use Irwin Mitchell in England and Wales to write your Will by post:
could buy a cell counter, which can count thousands of cells in seconds, saving time and helping scientists to find the most effective ways to beat cancer.
could fund one week of our Add Aspirin clinical trial into stopping cancer coming back after treatment.
could buy a DNA-sequencing machine that allows our scientists to analyse a huge amount of DNA very quickly, helping them to learn more about cancer.
A percentage share of your estate is the most valuable gift because it’s inflation-proof and can further help beat cancer for future generations.
A simple Will is usually a Will where there is no inheritance tax involved due to the value of your estate. It might also be a Will with no complex issues. We recommend talking to a solicitor about what a simple Will means to you.
Gifts in Wills play a vital role in funding our work. From early steps towards breast cancer prevention in 1911 to proving the power of the HPV vaccine in 2021, our research would not be possible without the support of legacy giving. By pledging a gift in your Will you are helping to create a future that protects the people you love.
We fund over 4000 scientists, doctors and nurses across the UK. Long term investment is essential to research, without it our scientists wouldn't have been able to make the breakthroughs we've already made. But we aren't done yet. By pledging a gift in your Will you can help us continue to invest in cutting-edge science, driving progress that can change the future.
