17 Aug We’re proud to announce our latest partner – The Brain Tumour Charity
We are delighted to announce that our latest partner is The Brain Tumour Charity.
Commencing immediately, the partnership will allow The Brain Tumour Charity to offer Will-writing services to its volunteers and supporters.
The Brain Tumour Charity is the UK’s largest dedicated brain tumour charity, making a difference each day to the lives of people with a brain tumour and their families. The charity funds pioneering research to increase survival, raise awareness of the symptoms and effects of brain tumours as well as offering vital support and information to all those affected.
To date it has invested over £18.3 million into pioneering research and supported over 20,000 people through its ‘Support and Information Service’. It has also reduced the average childhood diagnosis time from 14.4 to 6.7 weeks via its HeadSmart campaign.
The Goodwill Partnership’s low cost, solicitor-written Will-writing service will now be made available to the volunteers and supporters of The Brain Tumour Charity. There will be no obligation on the part of individuals to leave a legacy gift, although it is envisaged the partnership will generate much needed additional funds for the charity’s important work.
Mark Jackson, Co-Founder of The Goodwill Partnership, says: “What’s little known is that whilst brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40, less than 2% of all UK cancer research funding is invested into brain tumours. The Brain Tumour Charity therefore plays a vital role in both supporting those affected as well as by its pioneering medical research. We feel tremendously proud to be partnering with them.”
Geraldine Pipping, Director of Fundraising for The Brain Tumour Charity, says: “We are delighted to be working with The Goodwill Partnership who bring a combination of expertise and experience to the important area of Will-writing. We are confident they will be able to offer our supporters and volunteers a cost effective and convenient Will-writing option. We rely 100% on voluntary donations including gifts in Wills and the kindness of our supporters which could help us to fund remarkable lifesaving discoveries of the future.”
