Naturally family, friends and all those you care about come first when you're
making your will. However, once you've taken care of them, you may wish to think
about leaving something to a local cause you care about too. As an independent charity we
rely almost wholly on donations and legacies to do our work. We simply couldn't keep going
without our local supporters, fundraisers and the generous people who remember us in their wills.
Every year more local people need our help.
Leaving us a legacy - a gift in your will – means so much because it helps us to plan ahead
for those who will need our help in the future. The gift can be anything you like - not
necessarily money - it can be a piece of jewellery or a collectible item for instance. No matter
how small or large, every gift is valuable to us. There are so many things we could do with
being remembered in your will. And here’s just a few of them...
|
£600 will pay for the medication to give all our patients in the Inpatient unit a pain-free month.
|
|
|
£5,000 will buy one of our specialist electrical beds. These have
pressure-relieving mattresses and allow the patient to control their position
for maximum ease and comfort.
|
|
|
£35,000 will pay for a Community nurse to care for over 120 patients a
year in their own homes, helping them make the most of their lives by supporting
their choice to be cared for in a familiar environment.

And these are just the 'things' we can buy. The emotional support, care and love your
gift will bring are, of course, all priceless.
"Mum was always a great one for helping others, so it was a real comfort to her to know that,
through making a legacy, she would be helping other families, even after she'd gone."
Can you help?
There are a number of different ways of making a gift to us in your will. We always recommend
that you should contact a solicitor when making or changing a will, but you may find it useful
