Help us support hospice care for the future
We are proud to be part of a collaboration of 143 British hospices to launch a national campaign to not only celebrate what hospices do but also show how important leaving a gift in your Will is to St Leonard's.
Legacy donations are our biggest income stream supporting 1 in 4 of patients and families in our care. Help us care for more patients and families now and in the future.
Leaving a gift in your Will can help people like Maria.
Leaving a gift in your Will to St Leonard’s Hospice costs nothing in your lifetime, but the impact on the lives of patients and their families is immeasurable. It is a lasting legacy that will benefit others for many years to come.
Meet Edward.
A gift in your Will can help care for someone like Jill. Meet Edward who talks about his wife Jill's care in the Hospice, and why he has chosen to leave St Leonard's a gift in his Will.
Meet Julie.
A gift in your Will enables us to provide care and support to people when they need it most. Julie explains what Hospice@Home is, a service that provides end-of-life care to patients in the comfort of their own homes.
It's so important to have an up-to-date Will.
It’s the only way you can ensure your lasting wishes are honoured and your loved ones are cared for. After providing for your family and friends, by leaving a gift to St Leonard’s Hospice you can help us to plan for the future, meaning we can continue to give the best care and support for people living with life-limiting illnesses and bereavement.
Gifts can be a lump sum or a percentage of what you leave behind, so can be affordable no matter what your circumstances.
