Remember a Charity Week is a national week in the UK to celebrate those that have remembered charities in their Will. It aims to encourage everyone to think about their Will and whether, after looking after family and friends, they would name a charity in their Will and leave a lasting gift with a big impact.
This year’s theme is ‘What will you be remembered for?’. Everyone will be remembered for something, whether it’s for the way they cook a Sunday roast or a funny story, however you can be remembered for even more.
Leaving a legacy gift in your Will to charities has the power to make a lasting impact and change the lives of others. A gift in your Will to Mesothelioma UK can be one of the easiest and most thoughtful ways to leave a lasting tribute of care and hope. It will ensure that those diagnosed with mesothelioma live better and longer, and that anyone affected by mesothelioma will always have a place to turn.
‘’You want to know that there is someone there for you that knows everything that is going on within the mesothelioma community such as latest treatments, clinical trials, research and support. I wouldn’t be able to be that person for mesothelioma patients without Mesothelioma UK funding my post, which wouldn’t be possible without the generous donations left in Wills.’’
Simon Bolton, Mesothelioma Clinical Nurse Specialist at Calderdale and Huddersfield.

“Leaving a gift in your Will to Mesothelioma UK will help support future patients like me, as well as fund research and help them continue to raise awareness of the dangers of asbestos. Without them, I don’t think I’d be here today.’’
