If this is an idea that interests you, we invite you to speak to one of our fundraising team. You can learn more about the impact of your legacy gift, what it will mean for our patients, families and carers and how we will recognise your pledge.

We’d like to ensure that once your pledge has been made, you really feel like one of the hospice family, remaining up to speed with our news, developments and information about upcoming events you may like to attend.

Why make a Will?

Your Will is one of the most important documents you’ll ever sign – it ensures that the things you leave behind will go to the people and causes you care about. These include your home, bank accounts, investments, and your possessions.

It can also set out your wishes in relation to your funeral and who you would like to be the guardians of your children, should you die whilst they are young.  Writing a Will makes sorting out your affairs much clearer and easier for your family after your death, preventing unnecessary strain and worry at a distressing time.

If you die without making a Will, you’ll have died intestate, meaning that if no relatives are found and you are not married, then your estate will go to the Crown. The estate will often not simply pass on to a spouse entirely, and if unmarried then there is a real danger of them being entitled to nothing.
