| Leave a legacy in your will |
One of the best ways to ensure the vital work to arrest and alleviate kidney disease continues is to include the Kidney Fund in your will. It will help to secure the future research at the Institute as well as allowing the Fund to plan to extend its work.
Whatever you give will make a great difference. It will cost nothing in your lifetime, but will be a permanent memorial. It will be a legacy to all present and future kidney patients. It may be a gift to your children and your grandchildren.
Making a will is simple but you should seek independent advice from a solicitor or other qualified person. The registered charity number for the South West Thames Kidney Fund is 800952. |
