Legacy Giving
Create a legacy of hope
At the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust, we are dedicated to supporting children and families affected by retinoblastoma, a rare childhood eye cancer. At the heart of what we do, we believe that by driving early diagnosis through awareness, funding research, and offering lifelong support to those affected, we can lessen the impact of retinoblastoma now and in the future.
The Childhood Eye Cancer Trust’s support is unique amongst cancer charities in that it is accessible from before diagnosis, during treatment and throughout the lives of those affected. The impact of the treatment and risk of secondary cancers means that our work is essential to those affected as their needs change through childhood, adolescence and adulthood. Without the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust, they would otherwise be unable to access specialist, dedicated retinoblastoma support.
By leaving a gift in your will, no matter the size, can make a lasting impact, ensuring future generations benefit from advancing research, support and widespread awareness of this cancer.
How to leave a gift
An up-to-date will ensures your wishes for leaving gifts to people and the causes you care about will be clearly understood.
We recommend getting your will written and updated by a will-writing professional. This ensures that your will is written correctly and there will be less chance of your wishes being contested. Our step by step will writing guide and checklist will help with some of the practical information you might need to consider, as well as including information about why we need your support.
