Leave a Gift in Your Will and Leave a Legacy of Love

We are hugely grateful to our wonderful and generous community who are supporting us in so many different ways.

Perhaps one of the easiest and most effective ways of supporting us is by leaving a gift in a Will. In fact, gifts in Wills make up a huge part of our income and pay for the care costs of one out of every four patients.

A gift of any amount, whether it’s a cash sum or a percentage of your estate, will help ensure we are here for families in the years ahead. It helps us plan for the future, knowing we can cover the costs of providing care for people and their loved ones during their most difficult moments.

The people who leave a gift in their Will are doing something truly extraordinary. Their generosity is ensuring outstanding end-of-life care for local people in the years and decades to come. A gift in your Will is unlike any other kind of support, because the impact of it is only felt after you’ve gone. What a selfless and generous act.

Alison recently decided to include St Peter’s Hospice in her Will. She explains:

“Christine was the last of four of my friends who passed away in their 50s, all under the care of St Peter’s Hospice, but she was the closest to me. She died five days before Christmas and I miss her every day. With this in mind, when my husband and I changed our Wills, we picked a charity to each leave a gift to. I chose St Peter’s Hospice because the whole of our area benefits from the services offered. St Peter’s aims to improve the time we have left, however long that might be.”
