Help our care live on
Leaving a gift in your will is one of the most meaningful ways to support our hospice. Your kindness will help more local people receive free, specialist care and support in the future.
One in four of our patients is cared for thanks to gifts left in wills.
We understand your first priority is your family and loved ones. Many people find that, after providing for them, they can also leave something to a cause close to their heart.
A gift in your will costs nothing now but makes a lasting difference for years to come.
