White Deer Legal have joined forces with the UK’s leading cancer charity - Cancer Research UK, to help highlight the power of gifts in Wills in saving lives.
1 in 2 people will get cancer in their lifetime*. All of us can play our part to help beat it, and White Deer Legal will be facilitating gifts in Wills that fund pioneering research that is saving lives on a global scale.
It is super easy to use, and our experts are on hand to guide you through the process step-by step to tailor your Will in a way that suits you.
“At White Deer Legal many of us have friends or family who have been affected by this devastating disease, so we are proud to offer this important service. Cancer Research UK is the largest charitable funder of cancer research in the world, and we are honoured to be part of their progress that has already seen survival in the UK double in the last 40 years. Together with clients’ pledges and ours, we will beat cancer for future generations”.
Gifts in Wills fund over a third of the charity’s life-saving research. Without them, Cancer Research UK would not be able to undertake the vital research that will one day beat cancer for patients across the UK.
Samantha Devlin, Head of Legacies at Cancer Research UK, said: “We’re so pleased to be able to offer our Will Service to over 18s and work with White Deer Legal to help people make an all-important first Will or update an existing one.”
Together with its supporters, Cancer Research UK has played a role in developing 8 out the world’s top 10 cancer drugs, helped prove the link between tobacco and cancer and aided the development of radiotherapy - which benefits more than 130,000 patients every year in the UK. As the only charity fighting over 200 types of cancer, they are determined to accelerate progress so that 3 in 4 people survive their cancer by 2034.
