Leave a gift to Action in your will

Why leave a gift to a charity in your will?

You can change children's lives forever by leaving a gift to medical research.

The next big breakthrough in children's health could be possible thanks to a gift in your will. 

Recent advances in science and technology mean that the prospects for developing game-changing new breakthroughs are better than ever. 

You may also receive tax benefits for including a gift to Action Medical Research in your will. A gift in your will to a charity is free of inheritance tax and may also reduce the amount of tax payable on the rest of your will. Find out more here 

Thank you for considering a gift to charity in your will. Leaving a percentage of your estate to fund future medical research could make all the difference.

Fund the future of medical research

We believe that we can beat the diseases and conditions that devastate the lives of so many babies, children and young people. We are tackling this challenge by funding some of the best medical research in the world. Your gift could help find the answers that will change the world for future generations of children.

Our history

Action Medical Research started in 1952 to fund research into polio. The charity has had a number of name changes since then:

1952-1960:  The National Fund for Poliomyelitis Research

1960-1967:  The National Fund for Research into Poliomyelitis and Other Crippling Diseases, also known as the Polio Research Fund

1967-1990:  The National Fund for Research into Crippling Diseases, also known informally as Action for the Crippled Child and Action Research for the Crippled Child - ARCC

1990-2003:  Action Research

2003-now:   Action Medical Research

We are still the same organisation, with the same vision: prevention, treatments and cures for diseases and conditions.
