Wales, pledge to leave a gift in your WillWales, pledge to leave a gift in your Will
Anyone can leave a gift in their Will, and our free guide contains all the information you’ll need to write or update your Will. Request a guide below to find out more.
Join Liz from Cardiff, pledge to leave a gift in your Will today and help fund life-saving research for tomorrow.
Gifts in Wills fund a third of our life-saving research. Your legacy could help us to beat cancer for future generations.
“My youngest brother Clive died of leukaemia in 1996 when he was only 37 and I joined the local Cancer Research UK committee soon after that.
In 2003 I had a melanoma removed - luckily it was a very shallow one and needed no follow up treatment after it was removed. I had a biopsy and then a wide excision afterward.
Over the years I have lost several friends to breast cancer but on the plus side I also have several friends who have had successful treatment and are still enjoying life 15+ years on thanks to research.

Life-saving research happening now in Wales
Last year we spent over £4 million on life-saving research in Wales.
Our dedicated researchers in Wales are:
-
Focusing on using the immune system to tackle cancer
-
Stopping cancer cells in their tracks
- Engineering viruses to target cancer

“Monies that are so generously gifted through legacy pledges mean that vital cancer research can continue to be delivered.”
Three great reasons to make a Will and keep it up to date
1. Make it easier on friends and family
A Will makes it much easier for your family and friends to take care of your estate and be sure they’re acting on your wishes. Without a Will, the process can be difficult, stressful and time-consuming.
2. Help to minimise inheritance tax
If you’ve got a Will, it can help reduce the amount of inheritance tax that needs to be paid on your estate.
3. Protect the rights of your partner
If you and your partner aren’t married or in a civil partnership, you don’t have the same automatic rights as those who are married. You can make sure your partner’s looked after by naming them in your Will.
