How your gift will be used to end cancer

A gift in your Will sparks lifesaving research projects into any type of cancer, anywhere in the world.

We know that by starting new cures, one day we will end cancer. Our projects lead to lifesaving advances in finding better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. But we can't fund those projects without your help.

Gifts in Wills are the spark that ignites cancer cures

Loved ones are the first thing we think about in the morning and the last thing we think about at night. Writing your Will is no different. Adding a small percentage or amount to Worldwide Cancer Research allows you to take care of your loved ones first, last and always by ending the suffering caused by cancer for generations to come.

Including Worldwide Cancer Research in your Will

Work out what you own and what you owe

Start by jotting down a list of your assets and their estimated value. Assets like property, shares, savings, and other items of value that you own, including jewellery, cars and antiques. Next, consider what you owe. This may include your mortgage, loans or bills. Take what you owe away from your assets and this will give you an idea of the value of your estate.

Decide who you’d like to benefit

Think about the family and friends you may wish to remember in your Will, before considering the causes you care about. Then decide how you’d like to divide your estate.

Work out what you own and what you owe

Choose executors
