Leaving a Legacy
Through gifts in wills and generous supporters, our patients and their families have access to specialist palliative and end of life care, and bereavement support, free of charge when they need it the most. Gifts in wills fund nearly a quarter of Compton’s work to support people with life limiting conditions.
It is so important to have an up to date will so that you can make sure the people and causes you love are taken care of. We understand that your family and friends will always come first, and it is important to prioritise them. Even just 5% of your estate left to Compton can make such a difference and leaves the other 95% to your family. Leaving a gift in your will leaves a lasting legacy to our patients and the families our services care for.
We appreciate legacies of all shapes and sizes and even a small gift will make a big difference in helping us to support all our patients and investing in the future of care in your community.
