Leave a gift in your will

A gift in your will brings hope and life-changing help to people who need it. Create your own legacy by supporting our work with a donation.

By leaving a gift in your will to the British Red Cross, you’re building a legacy that helps people during their most difficult hours and supports our humanitarian movement.

We’re here to simplify the process for you. We can help you with making or updating your will. We can also give you advice on leaving a legacy gift to the British Red Cross.

25% of our total funding comes from gifts in wills. It doesn’t matter how large or small the donation is, every gift helps us respond in an emergency.

Join us in being here for everyone, everywhere. We’ve been here for over 150 years, and we plan to be for many years to come. Leave a gift that will truly never be forgotten.

Why leave a gift in your will?

Right now, there are multiple ongoing conflicts and more and more disasters around the world. In these emergency situations, it’s humanity that matters most to us. Our responders work in the UK and190 other countries to bring hope to people in their toughest moments.

By leaving a gift to the British Red Cross in your will, you’re becoming a part of our movement. Your gift will be remembered forever by those who need it most. We don’t know what the future holds but we do know that we will always be here for humanity, and you can be too.
