Current appeal…
It is only right that you want to remember your loved ones in your will, but you may also wish to consider leaving a gift to charity. Those who remember Lingen Davies Cancer Fund in their will, no matter how small the gift, will make a difference to cancer patients in Shropshire, Telford and Mid Wales.
This year, we have partnered with PCB Solicitors LLP to run the first ever Lingen Davies Will Scheme from 18th February-1st March. Lingen Davies supporters will be able to make a simple Will for free with PCB, in exchange for making a donation to Lingen Davies.
70% of people in the UK don’t have a Will- is it time to get yours sorted? Click here for more information.
We advise that you seek advice from a solicitor before writing or amending your will. You will need the full details of the charity to ensure that your wishes are carried out accurately. These are provided below:
Charity Name: Lingen Davies Cancer Fund

There are 2 different ways in which a gift can be made; a Pecuniary gift and a Residuary gift.
A Pecuniary gift is a set amount of money.
A Residuary gift is a percentage of your estate. This means that, however much your estate is worth, you ensure your loved ones are looked after. It also means you don’t have to keep altering your will as your circumstances change.
You should consult a solicitor for advice about what is best for you.
You can make an amendment to an existing will by adding a codicil. Please seek advice from a solicitor to ensure that the wording is correct. By adding this supplement to your will you can include new instructions and delete old ones without having to revoke the whole will.
If you would like to discuss how to leave a gift to Lingen Davies Cancer Fund, please contact Louise Dawson, Fundraising Manager on 01743 492396.
We take our responsibilities very seriously, ensuring every penny of your gift will be used wisely and in accordance with your wishes wherever possible.
Family comes first
It is only right for you to think of your family and loved ones first.
Your privacy is paramount

It’s OK to change your mind
We appreciate that personal circumstances change and that you may wish to change your mind about a legacy request.
It’s your decision, and you don’t have to tell us
It is lovely to hear from people who have left the charity a gift in their will, but you don’t have to and we won’t ask.

If you do let us know, you can choose if, and how, you want to hear about the work we do.
Any gift you leave will be used effectively
We are dedicated to ensuring that the funds are used directly to help cancer patients in Shropshire, Telford and Mid Wales.
Your wishes are important
We will, whenever possible, respect your wishes on how your gift is spent.
