Why leave a legacy gift?
Every day, children are diagnosed with complex, lifelong conditions. For families, this can bring uncertainty, difficult decisions and the challenge of managing hospital visits, treatments and ongoing care.
Roald Dahl Nurses listen, advocate and coordinate care, standing alongside children and families from diagnosis through to transition into adult services. By leaving a gift in your Will, you can help ensure this vital support continues for future generations.
How your gift helps
Legacy gifts provide long-term support, helping us continue to grow our network of Roald Dahl Nurses to support more children and families who need specialist care.
Every gift, whatever its size, can make a lasting difference and help create a future where more children receive the support they desperately need.
