Every day, people show their support for good causes like ours – a cake sale, volunteering or run a marathon to name a few. Leaving a gift in your Will benefits charities in a special way. Charitable legacies are the foundation for causes like ours and are vital in continuing our work.

Over the last three years we received legacies ranging from £100 to £100,000 – which allowed us to fund over £645,000 worth of research.

A gift for the future

At Spinal Research our aim is to help transform the lives of people living with a spinal cord injury by funding the best research in the UK and internationally to find treatments to restore movement and sensation.

We want to reach the day when spinal cord injury is no longer the devastating event it is today but a treatable condition.

You can help to create this future – with a gift in your Will

After you've looked after family and friends, please consider leaving a gift in your Will to Spinal Research.

Leaving us a gift in your Will

Making a Will is one of the most important things to consider in life, but it doesn't have to be complicated. It's really vital that your Will reflects the changes that life brings, so it makes sense to keep it up-to-date.

Your Will is so much more than a document and although the process can seem daunting; it's the best way there is to make sure the people you care about are provided for. Some useful information to help you through the process is below:

Make a Will Online

You can visit Make a Will Online and make a will online for free.  Every will is checked by a fully qualified solicitor and you’ll benefit from their professional service and helplines. Though if you have a solicitor already you should speak to them.  Also, if you have a high value estate, complex needs, or concerns around mental capacity, you should speak to a solicitor.  You can find a local solicitor through the Law Society.

Please ensure that your solicitor uses our full name: “International Spinal Research Trust”, our charity number: 1151015, and our registered address: 80 Coleman Street, London, EC2R 5BJ.

Using the online will link above means that we get some really useful information such as when a will is made and what has been left to us.  If you don’t want this to happen you can go here to make an online will.  However you make your will and whether or not you share this information with us we are hugely grateful for your generosity.
