Leave a gift in your will

The British Skin Foundation funds vital research into skin disease and skin cancer. Despite 60% of people suffering with or have previously suffered with a skin condition in the UK, dermatological research is a hugely underfunded area. We believe research is the key to securing a better quality of life for those who battle with a skin condition on a daily basis. By leaving a gift in your will you will be enabling us to fund research to find more effective treatments and taking us a step closer to fighting skin disease and skin cancer.

How do I leave a gift to the British Skin Foundation?

There are a number of options when it comes to leaving a gift to us, but we recommend that you consult a professional if at all possible. This may be a bank, solicitor or will writer. If you do not know of one, you may consider finding one through:

The Law Society

The Institute of Professional Will Writers
