The care of one in four of our patients is covered by gifts in wills
We're proud to be one of over 140 hospices in the UK taking part in "This is Hospice Care", a national campaign to raise awareness of the breadth of care hospices provide to their local communities.
By leaving a gift in your Will, you can help us continue to provide vital care, ensuring that everyone who needs it has the support they need for generations to come.
Watch the Hospice UK national campaign advert.
After looking after their loved ones, many people choose to remember charities in their Will.
Every year, the Hospice relies on income received from legacies to provide services free of charge to people from the local community with life-limiting illnesses. The care of our patients is covered by gifts in Wills.
If you have already made provision for the Hospice in your Will – thank you.

There are a few ways to leave a gift, but the most popular are:
- A percentage of your estate (known as a residual gift)
- A specific sum (known as a pecuniary gift)
- A specific item, such as jewellery or art
We would recommend talking it over with your solicitor.

No. Unfortunately, this is not possible.
Most supporters leave gifts to our general funds so we can direct it to the area of greatest need. If there’s a specific area of our work you’d especially like to support, please get in touch so we can discuss your wishes.
