Help hospice care live on – now and into the future

Right now, one in four people in the UK die without the care and support they need.

By leaving a gift in your will, your gift could ensure that when your neighbour gets that diagnosis, when a local family faces the unthinkable, when someone you know needs dignity and comfort, we’re here.

Not just today, but for generations to come.

Many people choose to leave gifts to their loved ones first, and then they consider gifts to charities they care about. Your solicitor will help you to make sure that your wishes are clear in your will. All you need to think about is who you want to leave a gift to and in what way.

Specific gift: Particular items of value, like a painting, jewellery or shares.
Pecuniary gift: A fixed amount, such as £5,000.
Residuary gift: A percentage of what remains in your estate after specific gifts, debts, taxes and costs. This means your gift adjusts if your financial situation changes. Many people choose this way of giving because they feel it better represents their wishes in the long term.
