In a remarkable achievement, the Wills, Tax, and Probate Team at Enoch Evans Solicitors has successfully helped raise £1.5 million through gifts in Wills for Cancer Research UK. This substantial contribution reflects the generosity of individuals committed to making a difference in the fight against cancer, as well as the crucial role of planned giving in funding essential scientific advancements.

With at least 78p in every £1 going to research last year, gifts in Wills power breakthroughs in a number of ways including:

• £1,000 could pay for a whole-genome sequencing experiment to examine DNA to find out where cancer changes DNA.
• 15% of a £50,000 estate could buy a PCR machine which helps make 80000 copies of a piece of DNA in just one second.
• 10% of a £300,000 estate could buy a high-tech tool called a gene gun which our scientists use to learn more about cancer’s weaknesses.

By including gifts in their Wills, benefactors contribute to ensuring that future generations will have access to improved cancer treatments and, ultimately, a cure. Enoch Evans takes immense pride in facilitating these meaningful legacies, reinforcing their dedication to both their clients and the broader community.
