Give in your Will

Cavell is here for UK nurses, midwives, and healthcare assistants, working or retired. The charity was formed in 1917 and is today proudly giving support to those professions when they’re suffering personal crisis or financial hardship, often due to illness, complications from a disability, poverty in older age, domestic abuse, and the impact of the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.

Could you be here for them too?

One of the most impactful ways you can support the nursing and midwifery family is by remembering Cavell in your Will. Leaving a gift in your Will, no matter the size, ensures life-changing, emergency support is available to working and retired UK nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants going through tough times.

Leaving your gift represents a unique and personal way to say thank you for the care you have received, or celebrate your years of dedicated service to the nursing and midwifery professions.

Your legacy

In 2022, the Cavell Support team saw a 200% rise in those seeking help compared to 2021, with a notable rise in applications from working nursing and midwifery professionals, compared to unemployed or retired applicants. Pre- pandemic, 55% of people seeking support from Cavell were working nurses, midwives, or healthcare assistants. By the end of 2022, this had jumped to 85%, a huge rise in working staff struggling with basic living costs.

Leaving a gift in your Will can be your legacy for future generations of nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants who are going through tough times.
