Please consider a gift in your will to Haemochromatosis UK after your loved ones have been taken care of, the next time you are updating or making your will.

Over 1.2million people in the UK are affected by Genetic Haemochromatosis. Too many people are dying of avoidable liver cancer, diabetes, heart disease or liver disease. Too many people are living in acute pain, from joints and bones damaged by iron overload. Many more experience neurological and mental health issues.

We recommend you get advice on making or amending your will. There are also now many online providers for help writing your will.

We'd love to know if you have mentioned us in your will, as we'd really appreciate the chance to say thank you. Let us know if you've already pledged a gift or plan to.

Gifts in wills - our promise

Firstly, we’d like to thank you for considering leaving a gift to Haemochromatosis UK in your will. We know that this is a deeply personal decision.

We promise to:

• Respect your privacy – no one will contact you or ask about your choices
• Understand and respect that your family and loved ones come first
• Make best use of your gift - to help people affected by genetic haemochromatosis
• Respect your right to change your mind about your gift at any time

Haemochromatosis UK was founded in 1990. We are a registered Charity number:1001307 and SCO41701. 

Our vision is a world in which genetic haemochromatosis is diagnosed and treated promptly, before any damage is done. We seek a world where everyone affected by genetic haemochromatosis has access to high-quality care and the support - and the information and resources necessary to improve their quality of life.

Ultimately, we want iron overload to be a thing of the past. Your gift can help us achieve that. What a legacy that would be!
