Leave a legacy gift
in your will
Charity funding makes the impossible possible. The research innovations and care that we deliver here at Velindre is focused both on patients that we’re treating now, but also has an eye to the future: to improve cancer treatments and cancer care for future patients and their families. Every generation has the opportunity to leave things better than they were, leaving a legacy – it’s always improving things, always looking to the future, never standing still. Because, as we know,
cancer doesn’t stand still.

The legacy you leave today could help change the future of cancer care for generations to come.
Your legacy. Their hope.
1 in 2 people in Wales are expected to develop cancer in their lifetime. The gift you leave today could help shape life-changing research at Velindre that brings new treatments, better outcomes and hope to people facing cancer in Wales and beyond.
Did you know? Gifts in Wills fund over a third of our work.
A gift in your Will is more than a donation. It is a lasting expression of kindness and hope.
People choose to remember us in their Will because Velindre has been part of their story. They have experienced the compassion of our clinical teams, witnessed the impact of exceptional research, or seen first-hand the difference support can make during life’s most challenging moments.
Their gift becomes part of something bigger. It helps develop new cancer treatments, supports innovation, and improves outcomes for future generations. It helps bring new possibilities to patients and families facing cancer, giving more people access to the advances they need, when they need them most.
Long after you’re gone, your gift could continue changing lives. Bringing new hope to patients, supporting families through cancer, and helping shape the future of cancer care in Wales and beyond.
Write or update your Will for free
We’ve partnered with the National Free Wills Network to offer our supporters the opportunity to write or update a simple Will free of charge with a local solicitor.
There is absolutely no obligation to leave a gift to Velindre Cancer Charity when using our free wills service. However, should you choose to remember Velindre in your Will, your generosity could help ensure future patients and families receive the care, support and hope they need during some of life’s most challenging moments. Every gift, whatever its size, helps bring comfort to families, hope to patients, and supports the research and care that will transform cancer services for future generations across Wales.

Rachel’s Story in Our Legacy Campaign
Rachel Barry’s mother is being treated at Velindre. She shares her thoughts on Gifts in Wills below:
”Part of my mother-in-law’s cancer, that was the line where they just said there was no further treatment available, and a very similar situation was with my mother.
And, within that ten-year window, there was suddenly an option that there hadn’t been a decade before. So, I think yeah, any funding to help the research, help the families, help the hospital, is amazing.”
