Gifts in Wills
A gift in your Will has a powerful impact for the future care we provide to our community and the development of St Ann’s Hospice for generations to come.
Gifts in Wills – or ‘legacies’ – are crucial to the survival and growth of St Ann’s Hospice.
Hospice care is free at the point of use. But, unlike the NHS, it is not fully state-funded. While St Ann’s receives some government funding, around a third what we need comes from gifts in Wills left by generous donors.
With rising costs and growing demand for hospice services, these gifts are more important to us than ever.
A gift in your Will can help make sure St Ann’s can continue to offer compassionate, free care and support to people impacted by life-limiting illness and their families each year, now and in the future.
A gift doesn’t have to be a huge amount and of course, we know that you need to provide for your family and friends first. But even a gift of just 1% of your estate can make a huge difference, meaning those closest to you still receive 99% of your estate.
A legacy, however large or small, will mean we can carry on providing specialist care and support to patients and their loved ones when they need us most.

When my husband Jeffrey died from cancer a couple of years ago, aged 63, I realised I needed to make a Will. We had planned to do it before his illness took over. I decided to leave a gift for St Ann’s in my Will. I’m also how important funding is to them, especially with costs going up. The hospice is such a fantastic place for people at a time in life when they need help the most. Once you see the warm, welcoming environment full of kindness and compassion you realise what a wonderful place St Ann’s is. Marguerite Christie, Legacy pledger
