A gift in your Will

Gifts in Wills play a vital part in us continuing to deliver the greatest difference to everyone affected by Crohn’s and Colitis.

An amazing 98% of funding for our work comes from you, our supporters. A large part of this essential funding comes from people who have remembered Crohn's & Colitis UK in their Will. Whether it's working to improve diagnosis and treatment; funding pioneering research into better treatments and a cure; raising awareness and understanding or providing reliable, evidence-based information and support to thousands of people who may have had nowhere else to turn, this is only possible thanks to supporters, like you. 

We know we've come a long way since we were founded over 40 years ago, but there's much work still to be done so that people living with Crohn’s and Colitis can lead freer, fuller lives.

With a gift in your Will, you can continue to help drive progress and create a better future for people living with Crohn's and Colitis.

I saw what life was like for Mum, so I want to give something back to make sure that there’s more understanding and knowledge of Crohn’s and Colitis now and in the future. I’d urge anyone who can to consider giving a legacy gift. You can even make or change your Will for free. Every little bit helps and even if just one person gets something useful out of it, then that’s good.
