Gifts in Wills
Leaving a gift in your Will is one of the most powerful ways to support people affected by leukaemia, MDS or MPN. Even a small gift to Leukaemia Care can make a real difference. You will leave a lasting legacy of support for future generations.
A lasting gift of hope
Every gift helps us provide vital care and support for families coping with blood cancer. Whether through trusted information, emotional support or financial help.
Why Gifts in Wills matter
Benefits of gifts in Wills:
- Ensure patients and families continue to get support when they need it most
- Help us plan long-term services with confidence
- Allow us to reach more people who might otherwise face leukaemia alone
- Leave a real legacy for years to come
Types of gift you can leave:
- A fixed sum of money - important to us no matter the size (known as a pecuniary gift)
- A share or all of what is left of your estate once other gifts and expenses have been paid (known as a residuary gift)
- An item of value such as jewellery or shares (known as a specific gift)
