Leave a gift in your Will

Leave a gift in your Will

Did you know that gifts in Wills help fund the care of 1 in every 5 people receiving end of life and palliative care from St Helena Hospice?

As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, we reflect on the incredible care we’ve been privileged to provide over the past four decades - thanks to the generosity of supporters like you. Your kindness has enabled us to be there for individuals and families during life’s most challenging times. 

Now, as we look to the future, we need your help to ensure St Helena Hospice can continue to offer this vital care for the next 40 years and beyond. 

A gift of care and compassion

At St Helena Hospice, we believe everyone living with an incurable illness deserves the right to live and die with dignity, compassion, and choice. We believe families should feel supported, and anyone coping with loss and bereavement should be guided through their grief with care. 

Our aim is to create a community where everyone knows, as the end of their story draws near, that they will be cared for and die where they choose to be; where loved ones have the opportunity to make the most of life together, surrounded by a community that cares and supports one another. 

A gift in your Will is a powerful way to ensure we can continue to meet the growing demand for our services, even as external funding challenges increase. It allows us to plan confidently for the future, knowing we’ll be able to care for the people you love and support your community for decades to come. 

St Helena Hospice is here for you should the need arise. Will you be there for us, future generations and for the people you love?
