Making a Will is one of those things we tend to put off. It is not something we really want to think about. However, it is important to have a Will to ensure our loved ones are protected, provided for, and save them from additional stress – whatever our financial situation.
Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation would always recommend that you should consult a solicitor or specialist Estate planner in order to discuss your particular requirements in detail. We understand that for some this may not be possible, whether this is because of time constraints or for cost reasons, that’s why we have partnered with Will-writing specialists to ensure all our supporters can write a basic Will for free.

Leaving a gift in your Will
When you make a Will, you may be asked if you wish to make a donation to Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation. There is no obligation to do so, although any donation or gift can ensure our vital work continues.
Gifts in Wills make up a third of our charity’s income. Without them, we would not have achieved all this…
- Built the first lung cancer research centre
- Funded the first lung cancer nurse specialist
- Pioneered new treatments to cure lung cancer
- Provided practical, emotional and financial support
- Campaigned for the implementation of lung cancer screening.
Pip’s story
When Pip was diagnosed with lung cancer, she decided to update her Will and leave a gift to our charity, Pip wanted to help researchers understand why people who don’t smoke develop lung cancer She wanted to give others the chance to be diagnosed earlier than she was.
Gifts in Wills have led up to where we are today.
A gift in your Will can lead us to where we need to be tomorrow.
We can develop the next generation of lung cancer researchers who could be the key to long term survival.
We will support all those affected by lung cancer in the way that best suits them – in person, on the phone and online.
We will expand and evolve lung cancer screening, so more people have their cancer caught at the earliest opportunity and be given the best chance to live through lung cancer.
We must continue to rewrite the narrative engulfing lung cancer, combat stigma and challenge the dangerous misconceptions that can prevent people from life-saving treatment.
