We estimate that there are currently more than 3 million
people living with cancer in the UK, rising to 4 million
by 2030. With cancer diagnoses increasing, your gift is
needed more than ever. By leaving a gift to Macmillan
in your will, you are helping us to continue supporting
people living with cancer, long into the future.
Gifts in wills constitute over a third of our income,
funding over a third of all our vital services.
Thanks to these gifts, we can continue to
provide essential clinical, financial, and emotional
support for those living with cancer.
Thank you,
Craig Fordham,
Interim Executive Director of Fundraising
Marketing and Innovation
GIVE THE ULTIMATE GIFT
Benefits of Leaving a Gift in Your Will to Charity
There are many benefits to leaving a gift in your will to
charity, the main one being that you are benefiting the
charities and causes that matter the most to you. If you
leave at least 10% of your taxable estate to charity, it can
reduce the Inheritance Tax payable, increasing what your
beneficiaries receive. Inheritance Tax can be complex, so
consulting a qualified advisor is recommended. For more
information, visit macmillan.org.uk/inheritancetax.
