This week is ‘Remember A Charity’ week; a campaign that encourages everyone to take a moment to consider adding a gift to charity in their Will.

Gifts in Wills are vital to the work of CancerCare; funding the support we provide to 1 in every 4 people who turn to the charity for help when dealing with the life-changing impact of cancer, serious illness or bereavement.

Of course, we understand that when making a Will, the needs of your family and loved ones will always come first. However, once you’ve looked after those closest to you, including a gift to CancerCare in your Will can help many more people, ensuring future generations across North Lancashire & South Cumbria can always turn to us for support. 

In recent years, gifts left to CancerCare in the Wills of wonderful supporters have:

• Helped to answer daily calls from local people coming to terms with a cancer diagnosis
• Develop specialist services to support children & young people affected by a diagnosis or bereavement in their families
• Deliver complementary therapy to patients undergoing cancer treatment in our local hospitals
• Helped to continue CancerCare’s work throughout Morecambe Bay & the Lake District and bring the charity’s support services to the Barrow & Furness community
• Fund weekly creative support groups for people dealing with the loss of a loved one.

Every gift in every Will makes a difference; helping to provide vital support for adults & children in our local community facing cancer, life-shortening illness or sudden and unexpected bereavement.

What’s more, because CancerCare is a local charity, we can guarantee that every single penny of your gift will benefit people right here in North Lancashire & South Cumbria.
