Leave a Lasting Legacy
Leaving a gift in your will to Thrombosis UK allows us to increase awareness and invest in research so that more people like Chrissy can be diagnosed correctly and survive VTE.
These gifts are vital to fund our expanding research programme and continuing our fight against thrombosis.
List what you own
Think about everything you own (your estate and assets) and who you'd like to be your executor.
Our Will planner may be helpful:
Plan who you would like to include
For many people loved ones will come first, but we also hope you'll consider leaving a gift to Thrombosis UK. We receive no government, so gifts from people like you make everything we do possible. With your help, we will be able to achieve our mission.
Decide who will write your Will
We would always recommend using a solicitor to write your Will to ensure all legal formalities are carried out correctly, and your Will is written and witnessed in a valid way.
Prepare your information
It's important to keep your Will up to date.
If your circumstances have changed, it may be a good time to review your Will to make sure it still reflects your wishes.

A share of your estate
After you have provided for your loved ones, you can leave a share of what remains to charity.
This is known as a 'residuary gift'.
A cash gift
This is when you leave an exact sum of money to us.
It's known as a 'pecuniary gift'.
A specific gift
Over the years we've received everything from a stream to antique jewellery.
A gift in trust
You can leave a gift for someone to use over a period of time. When the time has ended, the gift can be passed on to other recipients, such as a charity.
We receive all kinds of gifts in people’s Wills, and we’re grateful for all types of support. Speak to your solicitor if you’re interested in leaving an alternative type of gift.
