Leaving a gift in your Will, however large or small, can make a real difference to the lives of local people living with life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses.
Gifts in Wills are crucial for the provision, growth and development of hospice care. In fact these gifts fund the care of 1 in 5 of our patients.
A residuary gift – a gift of the remainder of a deceased’s persons estate after all other legacies etc. have been paid. Many supporters decide to leave a residuary gift as it enables them to look after their loved ones first before making a gift to Hospice. This type of gift is the most beneficial to Hospice as it retains its value.
A pecuniary gift – a sum of money. Unlike a residuary gift, this type of gift may decrease due to inflation.
A specific gift – a specific item such as a piece of jewellery. Care should be taken when describing such items so as to avoid any future confusion.
To acknowledge our gratitude to those who have kindly included a gift to Hospice in their Will we have produced a Tree of Life sculpture. Every year their names are engraved onto the leaves of this sculpture and an invitation is extended for their loved ones to view it.
