Leave a Gift in Your Will for The John King Brain Tumour Foundation.
Leaving a gift to charity in your will is one of the most meaningful ways to support the causes closest to your heart. By including the John King Brain Tumour Foundation in your legacy, you can help us continue our mission to improve brain tumour treatment, support patients and their families, and advance vital research for better outcomes.
Why Leave a Gift in Your Will to the John King Brain Tumour Foundation?
Brain tumours are one of the most challenging medical conditions, with limited treatment options and devastating effects on patients and their loved ones. Despite this, funding for research and patient support remains critically low. Your legacy can help us change this.
By leaving a gift in your will, you can:
- Support the Atkinson Morley Wing of St George’s Hospital and the McKissock Ward Roof Garden (a peaceful space for patients and their loved ones), as well as the upcoming Neuro ICU Roof Garden, which will open in 2025.
- Provide essential resources and facilities for patients undergoing treatment.
- Help fund specialist surgical equipment to improve outcomes.
- Honour the memory of John King and continue his vision of making a difference in the lives of those affected by brain tumours.
How Your Gift Can Make an Impact
Your generous legacy can help sustain our research and patient support initiatives, ensuring that future generations benefit from improved treatment and care. Whether large or small, your contribution will:
- Help fund life-changing surgical equipment and patient recovery services.
- Provide crucial support to individuals and families facing the challenges of a brain tumour diagnosis.
- Create healing environments within the St Georges Hospital to provide a little peace in the midst of very difficult times.
The Benefits of Leaving a Charitable Gift
Leaving a gift to charity in your will can also provide financial benefits, including:
- Reducing or eliminating inheritance tax on your estate.
- Ensuring that your legacy supports a cause you care about most.
How to Leave a Gift in Your Will
Leaving a gift in your will is simple. We recommend speaking with a solicitor to ensure your wishes are properly documented. You may choose to leave:
- A fixed sum of money (a pecuniary legacy).
- A percentage of your estate (a residuary legacy).
- A specific item of value, such as property or shares.
If you have already written your will, you can easily add a gift to the John King Brain Tumour Foundation by creating a codicil (a simple amendment).
