By leaving a gift in your will to MSF, you can ensure that our financial independence - which enables us to provide medical aid where and when it is needed most - will continue.
We rely on the generosity of our supporters. Without you, our work would simply not be possible. Whatever the amount, your contribution will make a valuable difference.
We will always be committed to providing care to those who need it. But that legacy is not ours alone.
The best way to help us respond in an emergency is with a residuary gift – a share of what is left in your estate once you have provided for your loved ones.
Residuary gifts retain their value over time in line with inflation. While every gift to MSF is gratefully received, this is the best way to help us respond in an emergency.
Alternatively, you can choose to leave a pecuniary gift – a fixed amount of money.
We strongly advise that you contact a local solicitor to make your will or for any amends to an existing will. Although you will have to pay a fee, you will receive professional advice and can be sure that your wishes will be carried out.
Please request our leaflet if you would like more information about writing your will.
Your solicitor will need to know our address and registered charity number:
- Médecins Sans Frontières (UK), Level 5, Artesian, 9 Prescot Street, London, E1 8AZ
- Registered Charity number: 1026588
We respect your privacy, and there is no need to share any details with us. However, if you are happy to tell us you will be remembering MSF through a gift in your will, then we would really like to say thank you and keep in touch with you about MSF’s work.
Our work is only possible thanks to the generosity of supporters like yourself, as we receive no government funding. This enables us to remain independent, neutral and impartial, which are values at the core of MSF. Around the world, we provide free and impartial medical aid to people caught in humanitarian crises.

If you choose to remember MSF in your will, we promise that:
- We will endeavour to spend your money in an area of the world that is close to your heart, if that is what you wish. However, please understand that we are an emergency organisation and that we may no longer be needed in the particular country or project you have in mind.
- We will respect your right to privacy. You don’t have to tell us how much you have decided to leave to MSF.
- We will use your gift wisely and effectively.
If you are a relative or friend managing the estate of a loved one who has remembered MSF in their will, thank you for finding our website and we offer our sincerest condolences for your loss.
It is helpful if you can inform us as soon as you can if a gift has been left to us. We can make sure that we remove the deceased’s name from our mailing lists to avoid any upset or distress in dealing with post.
If you can provide us with the full name and address of the deceased and type of gift (residuary or pecuniary). When you are in a position to pay the gift, we can confirm the details of payment and receipt.
