Leave a gift in your will

Over 20 years ago Jo Maxwell sadly passed away from cervical cancer at a time when there was very little information about the disease and minimal support available. Her husband James wanted to ensure that no one else went through the experience his wife did and hoped to create a legacy in Jo’s name in the form of a charity that would be there to support all future generations and eradicate this disease. Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust was born out of this legacy with the mission that one day cervical cancer would become a thing of the past. 

Today we are still working towards that mission but unfortunately each day we still tragically lose two people to cervical cancer. We know that with your help we can put a stop to this and once your loved ones have been looked after we would love you to consider creating your own legacy by leaving a gift to Jo’s in your will. 

Your gift will directly help us to eliminate cervical cancer and until then it will ensure that no one has to go through cervical screening, cell changes or cervical cancer alone.
