Thank you for taking the time to find out more about the
importance of leaving a gift in your Will to Dove House Hospice.
We're proud to be participating in the "This is Hospice Care" campaign, a groundbreaking collaboration between 143 hospices across England, Scotland, and Wales, brought together by Hospice UK to highlight the importance of gifts in Wills to local hospices like Dove House. You may have seen the recent TV advert developed as part of the campaign to raise awareness of this important topic.
Gifts left to us in Wills are a vital part of our funding, covering the entire care costs of 1 in every 10 of our patients - everyone here simply couldn't do all we do without them.
There are so many life events which may prompt you to make a Will; from becoming a grandparent to buying a new home, getting married or getting diagnosed with a life limiting illness. Whatever the reason, writing a Will gives you the power to decide how your assets are dealt with after your death and is an invaluable tool to help protect your family’s future. We know that this is a very personal decision and not one to be taken lightly, so we have created a booklet, containing all the information needed to make the correct, thoughtful decision.
The most important part of preparing your Will is being able to decide who should receive your assets when you die. Your Will allows you to leave specific legacies, such as items of jewellery or antiques, to your beneficiaries and your Will can also be used to make cash gifts to members of your family, friends or charities, like Dove House Hospice. At the bottom of the page, there are a selection of patient and family stories, which really highlight the incredible impact that support like yours can have on local families, along with supporter's motivations for leaving a gift in their Will to Dove House.
By filling in the short form below, we can provide you with an information booklet containing further information about the practicalities of leaving a gift in your Will, along with the amazing difference that this will make to so many who access care during the most difficult of times.
