Why your gift is so important

Research is a long journey and needs a steady stream of funding.

Together, we can change the future of breast cancer

By including a gift in your will, you can help fund research into new ways to diagnose, treat and prevent breast cancer. So that one day, no one will lose someone they love to the disease.

The impact of leaving a gift in your will
Dr Simon Vincent, director of research, support and influencing at Breast Cancer Now, talks about the hope a gift in your will could bring.

Together, we can make sure no one will go through breast cancer alone

It's also a lasting way to support the work we do and make sure we're still able to support anyone affected by breast cancer in years to come. 

We’ve already helped millions of people through our face-to-face, phone and online support services.

Gifts in wills can help us develop and extend our reach, so that anyone affected by breast cancer in the future can get the information and support that’s right for them.

Having witnessed my mother’s experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 42, I understand first-hand the shattering impact that this disease can have on the person affected, and on their loved ones. Breast Cancer Now does such crucial work, providing support for those affected by breast cancer and funding world-class breast cancer research. I’m delighted to support this campaign that will help them continue to bring hope for the future for anyone affected by breast cancer.

Together, you can help us be here in the future

You can help us be here so no one in the future goes through breast cancer alone, and no one loses someone they love. We know that your loved ones always come first. But after you’ve provided for them, donating any percentage of what’s left, or any amount that feels right for you as a gift in your will, can make a huge difference.
