This is hospice care
It is the nurse who shows up when you’re overwhelmed. The volunteer who sits with your loved one so you can sleep. Somewhere in your life – in your family, your friendships, your community – hospice care is already making a difference in ways you might not expect.
Nottinghamshire Hospice has been at the heart of the community for 45 years. We’ve provided care to thousands of people at the end of their lives, and intend to do that for many more years to come.
But our care would not exist without you.
Gifts in Wills help ensure we are here for everyone who needs us at the end of their life, both now and in the future.
Leave a gift in your Will and help hospice care live on for all, for now, forever.
Your gift could help us be there for more people like John
Margaret and John had been married for over 40 wonderful years when John began to suffer with multiple health problems. John had a fear of hospitals and desperately wanted to stay in the comfort of his home, so Margaret did as much as she could to care for him herself. In the last week of John’s life, Margaret was struggling with the stress of looking after him and their GP suggested we could help. Our dedicated nurses helped keep John at home, so he could die peacefully, surrounded by his family and home comforts, exactly where he wanted to be.
Leaving a gift in your Will costs you nothing today, but will have a lasting impact for the people we care for
I will forever be grateful to the caring, compassionate staff at Nottinghamshire Hospice. They treated John with dignity. What’s more, I could get some rest which was very much needed.
What your gift could do
We need to raise nearly £4m every year to provide our care. With rising costs and growing demand for our services, your support is more important to us than ever.
Every single gift, no matter its size, means the world to us and will have a lasting impact in your local community. Your kindness will live on long after you’re gone, ensuring nobody facing an incurable illness in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire is left to cope alone, now and in the future.
Hospice in Your Home
Your gift could help provide a nurse to care for someone in the comfort of their own home, allowing their family to get some much-needed rest.
Wellbeing
You could help fund group activities and 1-2-1 support aimed at improving the quality of life for those facing the diagnosis of an incurable illness.
Bereavement Support
Your gift could help provide support to our patients and their families at what is a devastating and emotional time.

What type of gift can I leave in my Will?
A fixed sum of money, large or small, would be appreciated. Please consider asking your solicitor to ensure your cash gift is index-linked so that it holds its value over the years.
A share of your estate after other gifts, taxes and debts have been paid is the best option for Nottinghamshire Hospice, as your kind gift will not be reduced in value by inflation.
A specific gift is a particular item of value, such as a car or house. For example, a property sold for £240,000 could fund 20 whole days of care at Nottinghamshire Hospice.
