This is Hospice Care

We're proud to be part of this national campaign shining a light on the the vital role that hospices play in communities across the UK, and how a gift in your will of any size can help protect the future of hospice care.

Help hospice care live on

Hospices like ours are at the very heart of communities, offering compassionate care and support when it is needed most. For many of us, a hospice will touch our lives at some point. Whether for ourselves, a loved one, or a friend, providing comfort, dignity, and expert care through life's most challenging times.

But just as this incredible support wouldn't exist without hospices across the UK, hospice care wouldn't exist without you. That's why we've come together to shine a light on the vital role that hospices play in communities across the UK, and how a gift in your will of any size can help protect the future of hospice care.

Why leave a gift to St John's?

St John’s Hospice has been at the heart of our community for over 40 years, providing quality, holistic care to people living with life-limiting illnesses, their families and carers when it matters most. Over the last four decades, gifts in wills have played a crucial part in our hospice’s survival and growth.

They have enabled us to renovate our hospice, creating the new St John's Hospice Wellbeing Centre, and develop unique services such as our round-the-clock Hospice@Home support and our fleet of patient and ambulance vehicles. With rising costs and growing demand for our services, these gifts are more important to us than ever before.

By leaving a gift in your will, you will play a vital part in our story and help the legacy of our care live on for all, for now, forever.

How to leave a gift to St John's

A will guarantees that your wishes will be carried out after your death, and your assets go to the people, organisations and charities that matter most to you. If you haven't created one yet, we understand that the process can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve developed our free Gifts in Wills guide.

The guide is full of practical information to help you make a will, update an existing one to include a gift to St John’s Hospice, and learn more about the impact your support could have.

Carol, one of our legators, leaving a will to St John's Hospice

“I will always be grateful to the hospice.”

“The care given to my sister Rosalind was sensitive and imaginative, the pain control was very well judged, and the welcome given to her family and friends was genuinely warm. I could go on about how much I love and appreciate St John’s, and I’m glad I’m able to show this by remembering them in my will."

Carol, Legator.
