Leave a legacy gift in your Will
Gifts in Wills help fund work that supports life-saving treatments such as radiotherapy for people like Laurel, who was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in 2006.
Leaving a gift in your Will makes a lasting difference
Gifts In Wills fund one third of our work. Whether it's a lump sum, a percentage share of your estate or a specific gift, your legacy helps fund life-saving cancer research to protect the people you love for generations to come.

We helped develop IMRT – a more targeted type of radiotherapy – and have established RadNet, a nationwide radiotherapy research network.
Developing the world’s first vaccine to prevent lung cancer
Together with the CRIS Cancer Foundation, we’ve awarded a team of trailblazing researchers £1.7m to develop LungVax – the world’s first vaccine to prevent lung cancer.

Types of gift you can leave
A percentage share
A percentage share of your estate. This type of gift is the most valuable because it’s inflation-proof.
A lump sum
A fixed amount from your estate that can lose its value over time as costs increase.
A specific gift
This could be a particular item such as a car, jewellery, or a property.
One benefit of choosing a percentage gift is that it changes in line with the value of the inheritance you leave. Your gift adapts over time with inflation, ensuring your intentions are reflected into the future, protecting your wishes to support the charities and causes you care about.
