Gifts in Wills make up over a third of our income, helping us support people today and for generations to come.
Through your own legacy, you could help...
fund vital research, improving the lives of people living with osteoporosis and - one day – beat it
fund our specialist nurse Helpline and expert resources, helping people like Christine feel informed, supported and less alone.
us campaign for earlier diagnosis, ensuring everyone gets timely treatment
Why Christine is leaving a gift in her Will
"If my legacy could stop someone else going down my road, the road that I've gone down, that would be the icing on the cake"
Meet Susan, our Legacy Manager
I’m Susan Shuttle, the Legacy Manager here. I look after all the incredible gifts left in Wills to the Royal Osteoporosis Society (ROS) and can help you with any questions you might have about leaving a gift.
I used to be a solicitor specialising in Wills and probate, and later taught law, including Wills and probate. I’m also a member of the Institute of Legacy Management.
If you have left, or plan to leave a gift in your Will to ROS, please let me know as I’d love to thank you. Contact me at legacy@theros.org.uk or 01761 473137.
Why people choose to leave a gift to ROS
Supporters often tell us they choose to leave a gift because:
osteoporosis has affected someone they love
they want future generations to stay strong, stand tall, and be independent
they’re grateful for the support they’ve received
they want to help beat osteoporosis for good.

Why Jackie is leaving a gift in her Will
Jackie has left a gift in her Will to the Royal Osteoporosis Society after living with osteoporosis and receiving our support for over 20 years.
