Being there for others

Thank you for considering leaving a gift in your will to North Devon Hospice.  A gift in your will is one of the most valuable ways you can help us to continue providing care and support for people across the community.  When thinking about your will, it's only natural to think of friends and family first, but a gift towards our work too will help us plan for the future with more security. This year over 20% of our income came from wills.

A gift in your will is a lasting legacy of support for the hospice and we are always touched by the generosity of people who leave something to us.  Last year this amounted to just under £900,000 in donations.

It is thanks to the support we received in peoples' wills that we can continue so much of our work. Gordon Jackson is one such person who has decided to leave a gift in his will, "When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, my hospice nurse provided both kind and thoughtful counselling. I still call in to the hospice from time to time, both to have a catch up with my nurse and for a bit of peace and quiet.  For my part, I believe in helping those in need and therefore I am making a gift to the hospice in my will so they can continue their essential caring work in our community. I would encourage anybody to do the same so that the hospice can provide support to patients and their families in times of great need."

We are always so very grateful to everyone who includes us.  Through the gifts of others, we can continue to support patients, their families and friends across the community.  If leaving a gift of money, a share of your estate, or an item of property is something you may consider, we would be grateful to hear from you.

You're welcome to contact Ali with an questions you may have about leaving a gift in your will.
