The Christie Charity - Gifts in wills brochure

Common questions

Q: I already have a Will. Can I update it to include a gift to The Christie Charity? A: Yes, we advise talking to your solicitor. Alternatively, you can use our Free Will service. Q: Do I have to leave a lot of money to make a big difference? A: A gift of any size can make a real difference towards helping people with cancer. You don’t need to leave a lot of money. Q: What kind of gift can I leave to The Christie Charity in my Will? A: You can leave a specific sum of money, an item of value, or a share of your estate. Many supporters choose this option because it allows them to provide for friends and family first.

Q: Can I leave it to The Christie Charity to decide where my gift is spent when the time comes? A: Yes, of course. Unrestricted gifts go directly to funding priority projects in most need of support at the relevant time. However, if you feel strongly about directing your gift to a specific area of our work, please refer to this as a ‘wish’, rather than a restricted condition of the gift where possible. Q: Does my decision to include a gift in my Will have to be final? A: Not at all, you’re free to change your Will at any time.
