Funding research. Supporting lives. Changing the future.

At The Aplastic Anaemia Trust, we believe in the power of legacy. Not just what you leave behind - but what you build for the future.  

For over 40 years, we’ve been working to change the story for people with Aplastic Anaemia - a rare and life-threatening condition that urgently needs more research, better treatments, and stronger support. And we know that the progress we’ve made has only been possible thanks to those who came before us - and those who have chosen to leave something behind.

Why Your Legacy Matters

Legacy gifts - donations left in Wills - are one of the most powerful ways you can support a cause you care about. They account for around 16% of all fundraised income across the UK charity sector, but they’re not just about how much you give. They’re about the impact you want to leave behind.

A gift in your will to The Aplastic Anaemia Trust (AAT) is more than a donation. It’s a commitment to a future where no one has to face Aplastic Anaemia alone.

Your legacy could help us:
✔ Fund life-saving research
✔ Support families through the toughest times
✔ Raise awareness of a rare and often misunderstood condition
✔ Build a future free from the fear and uncertainty of Aplastic Anaemia

Your legacy could help us fund the next breakthrough - and help us bridge the gap between where we are today and the future we want to build.
