Leave a gift in your will

By leaving a gift in your will, you make sure more young people can believe in a brighter future living through and beyond cancer. Thank you.

Your legacy

Anyone can leave a gift in their will, no matter how large or small. Every single gift we receive will help transform the lives of more young people after cancer treatment.

Without the kindness of people who choose to leave a gift to the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, we could not provide the vital post-treatment support young people need through our sailing and outdoor adventures.

After looking after those you love, by leaving even just 1% of your estate to the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, you will make a long-lasting difference to the lives of these young people for years to come.

"Every gift makes real and tangible difference to the young people we support. It's an honour to be chosen."

There is no obligation to tell us you have left a gift in your will and any pledge you make is not legally binding.

But, if you would like to let us know you have chosen to leave us a gift, we would love to thank you for remembering us in such a personal way.
