Investing in the future of care in your community

Leaving a Legacy

Leaving a Legacy

Through gifts in wills and wonderful supporters, our patients and their families will have access to specialist palliative and end of life care, and bereavement support, free of charge. You may be interested to know it costs £14 million a year to provide our care, and we simply couldn’t provide it without the support we receive from our amazing community leaving gifts in wills. 

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 comes first, and it is important to prioritise them. Even just 1% of your estate left to charity can make such a difference and leaves the other 99% to your family. Leaving a gift in your will leaves a legacy to our patients and the families our services care for. 

We appreciate legacies of all shapes and sizes and ensure that each one goes a long way in helping us to support all our service users and investing in the future of care in your community.
