Without gifts in wills, our work in the local community simply wouldn’t be possible. Leave a lasting legacy and help us be there for everyone who needs us, now and for years to come.
Having a will guarantees that you can provide for your loved ones and the causes you care about in the way that you want.
Once you are happy that you’ve taken care of your loved ones, you could leave a legacy gift to our hospice in your will.
Your gift would leave a lasting imprint on your community and help to ensure that we can be there for everyone who needs us, now and for years to come.
By making a will, you can guarantee that your wishes will be carried out after your death, and your assets go to the people and organisations that matter most to you. We’re pleased to be able to offer our community the option of making a free will through Bequeathed, which makes the will writing process even easier.
By making a free through Bequeathed you will play an important part in making our vision a reality. From providing community nurses, bereavement support, day services, occupational therapies or carer respite, leaving a gift to St John’s Hospice, however big or small, will enable your compassion and kindness to live on.
There’s no obligation to include a gift in your free will, but anything you do leave will help us provide care and comfort to everyone in our community who needs it.
“I am remembering St John’s Hospice in my will because I want them to continue expanding the range of fantastic services they can provide and reaching all those in our community who need them.”
If you already have a will and would like to amend it to leave a gift to our charity the following wording may be helpful:
I bequeath to St John’s Hospice (SS John & Elizabeth Charity), registered charity number 235822, the residue of my estate/ one X share of the residue of my estate/ X% of my estate to be restricted to the charitable endeavours of St John’s Hospice.
I bequeath to St John’s Hospice (SS John & Elizabeth Charity), registered charity number 235822, the sum of £X (specify words and figures) to be restricted to the charitable endeavours of St John’s Hospice.
I bequeath to St John’s Hospice (SS John & Elizabeth Charity), registered charity number 235822, all of my personal effects/ specific items to be restricted to the charitable endeavours of St John’s Hospice.
Thank you for taking the time to consider leaving a gift in your will to St John’s Hospice. We are so grateful to all of our legacy partners and we will make sure we use your gift to support our patients for years to come.
