What is Remember a Charity Week?
This year's Remember a Charity Week takes place between 9 to 15 September 2024 and it is a great reminder that leaving a gift in your will can make a huge impact to the causes close to you.
Gifts in wills are incredibly important to Macmillan. In 2023, gifts in wills accounted for a massive 40% of our income. Thanks to the kindness and generosity of those who have left us a gift in their will, we are able to carry out our vital work supporting people living with cancer.
Why your support matters
Many of our supporters choose to leave a gift in their will to Macmillan. In 2023, these incredible gifts totalled over £90 million, meaning we can reach even more people living with cancer who need our support. No matter how big or small, every gift makes a massive difference, for example helping us to:
- Reach 2.3 million people who benefited from our services
- Provide wellbeing grants to 112 of our incredible healthcare professionals in need to ensure they can continue providing the best service to those living with cancer
- Support around 110,000 people through the Macmillan Support Line
