Make the Future Better For Cancer Patients in Sussex By Leaving a Gift in Your Will

100% of our income relies on voluntary income from grants, donations and gifts in wills. Supporters like you change the work we do. We were founded in 1981 – imagine what you can help us achieve in the next 40 years with a gift in your will. You will change the future of what we can achieve if you leave a gift in your will of any size.  A gift of just 5% of your estate means others closest to you can get 95% – and you help protect our work for future generations.
