Legacies

By leaving a gift to Genetic Disorders UK in your will, you can help create a better future for the 1 in 25 children born with a life-altering genetic disorder in the UK.

Making a will and keeping it up to date is vital. It is your chance to choose exactly what you want to leave, and to who you want to leave it to. You can provide for those closest to you and – if you wish – also support the work of Genetic Disorders UK.

Why leave a gift to Genetic Disorders UK in your will?

Your legacy doesn’t have to be a large sum to make a difference.  Legacies are incredibly important to the continuation our work providing comfort, information and advice to individuals and families coping with a new diagnosis and guidance to those caring for children and adults who require access to healthcare services, educational support, the benefits system and social care. Your generosity will also help us fund important projects that transform the lives of children with genetic disorders.
