Isleworth will-writers Will Power Estate Protection have joined forces with Cancer Research UK to help highlight the power of gifts in wills to save more lives.
The firm based on Swan Street in Isleworth is playing its part by providing the charity’s will-writing service, where anyone over 18 can write or update a will with a contribution to the cost from Cancer Research UK.
Cancer Research UK contributes to the cost of a will, in the hope people will choose to pledge a gift in their will to support the charity’s life-saving work. Managing Director, Liz Killip said:
“Cancer Research UK is the world’s largest charitable funder of cancer research, and we are honoured to become part of the progress that has already seen survival in the UK double in the last 50 years.
At Will Power, many of us have friends or family who have been affected by this devastating disease. This is a cause close to our hearts, and we are committed to helping the charity beat cancer for future generations.”
Gifts in wills, they have stated, facilitated by Will Power, could help accelerate advances in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease, bringing hope to thousands of people in South West London and across the UK. Head of Legacies at Cancer Research UK, Samantha Devlin, said:
“We’re delighted to be able to offer our Will-writing service in South West London and work with Will Power to help people make an all-important first Will or update an existing one.
We’re incredibly grateful that most people who use our Will-writing service choose to leave a gift to Cancer Research UK. In fact, gifts in Wills account for a third of the money we raise to beat the disease.
Our vision is a world where everybody lives longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer. It’s thanks to the generosity of our supporters and partners that step by step, day by day, our researchers are making this vision a reality.”
