Support a cause close to your heart this September

Blog -

A small gift goes a long way. Leaving a gift in your Will to our charity can help change what it means to live with CF in the future. Here’s how you can support a cause close to your heart -and make sure that everyone with CF can live a life unlimited.

The difference you can make

With a record number of people living with CF in the UK, a gift in your Will to the Trust could help bring hope and light to thousands of people with CF and their families. Your gift can help us to plan our future work as we strive towards a future without the limits of CF.

Once you’ve provided for your loved ones, a gift in your Will can help the Trust continue our vital work supporting everyone with cystic fibrosis in the future. From providing vital information and support to families dealing with a new CF diagnosis, to funding cutting edge research into new treatments that work for everyone with CF.

Gifts in Wills mean we can continue to advocate for every single person with CF in the UK. Driving up standards of care, keeping our Helpline running, and investing in a future free from the limits of CF. Anything you can leave, big or small, will make a huge difference to our work. A gift of just 1% of your estate will help us to continue to be there for generations to come.

Xander’s story

Duane and team with XanderYour gift would help children with CF like Xander, a two-year-old boy with a rare CF mutation that means he cannot benefit from Kaftrio. Xander’s father Duane got in contact with the Trust via their CF team at Belfast Hospital. His hope for Xander is that one day he can live a life without the limits of CF. “With cystic fibrosis, it can feel like there's a cloud hanging over you. If that cloud was able to be removed from Xander, then I think that's a life without limits. If he can do whatever he wants, whether it be having children, sport or work, or whatever he decides to focus his energy on, that would be a life unlimited.”

Our free Will service

If you’re considering writing a Will, you could use our free Will service, which allows anyone over the age of 18 to write or update a simple Will for free. There is no obligation to leave us a gift, but we hope that after you’ve provided for your loved ones, you’ll think of us.

You have three options for writing your will: face to face, online or over the phone (latter two options only available in England and Wales). Once you have started the process of writing your Will, you need to decide what kind of gift you want to leave. There are two different kinds of gifts: a percentage of your estate, or a set amount, where you decide how much you want to leave. Once you have decided on the type of gift you want to leave, make sure that your solicitor states our full address and charity number, so you can make sure the gift reaches us.

If you need it, our address is:

Cystic Fibrosis Trust, One Aldgate, London, EC3N 1RE

Registered charity in England and Wales (1079049) and Scotland (SC040196)

If you need any help or information along the way, you can look on our Gift in Wills website page or contact us at [email protected] or 020 3795 1521.

If you've already decided to remember us

You may have already included a gift to us and if so, thank you! We know your Will is personal but if you would like to share why you left a gift in your Will to us, we’d love to thank you properly and let you know how your gift can help. You can email our Gifts in Wills Team at [email protected]

Thank you so much for considering leaving a gift in your Will to Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Your gift can help us be there for people with CF now and in the future, bringing forward the day when everyone can live without the limits of CF.


Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition which causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. It affects more than 10,800 people in the UK. One in 25 of us carries the faulty gene that causes it, usually without knowing.

Since 1964, we've supported people with cystic fibrosis to live longer, healthier lives -and we won’t stop until everyone can live without limits imposed by CF.
