We can support you to remember us in your Will

Leaving a gift in your Will gives hope for a world free from Crohn’s and Colitis.

We understand that the decision to leave a gift in your Will starts with your loved ones.

Ellie, our donor development fundraising officer, tells us more about how your actions now can benefit generations in the future.


Once you’ve provided for those closest to you, including a gift to Crohn’s & Colitis UK in your Will is a wonderful opportunity.

With a gift, you can create a better future for thousands of people affected by Crohn’s and Colitis. Gifts in Wills play a vital part in helping us continue our work, so we can make a difference where it matters.

Your legacy will ensure vital research continues, getting us even closer to discovering new treatments and ultimately a cure. It will help to fund vital support services, break taboos and campaign to improve lives.

The gifts our supporters leave in their Wills are incredibly important towards funding research into the future of Crohn’s and Colitis. And right now, it will help us provide much-needed support services to people currently affected and newly diagnosed with the conditions. These incredibly generous gifts have helped power every discovery and breakthrough, and they provide vital support for those affected by the conditions.

We’ve been driving world class research since 1979, awarding over £11.5 million in grants to date. Many of the researchers we fund have gone on to publish papers, receive further funding, and inform improvements in healthcare for people with Crohn's and Colitis. They have all grown to be well respected in their field.

Thanks to the advances funded by gifts in Wills, Crohn’s & Colitis UK is better placed than ever to fight for better treatment.
