Leave a gift in your Will
Did you know that gifts in Wills help fund the care of 1 in every 5 people receiving end of life and palliative care from St Helena Hospice?
We have been privileged to provide care for over four decades - thanks to the generosity of supporters like you. Your kindness has enabled us to be there for individuals and families during life’s most challenging times.
As we look to the future, your support will help ensure St Helena Hospice remains a place of comfort and compassion for every family who will need us tomorrow, creating a lasting legacy of care for our community.
A gift of care and compassion
At St Helena Hospice, we believe everyone living with an incurable illness deserves the right to live and die with dignity, compassion, and choice. We believe families should feel supported, and anyone coping with loss and bereavement should be guided through their grief with care.
Our aim is to create a community where everyone knows, as the end of their story draws near, that they will be cared for and die where they choose to be; where loved ones have the opportunity to make the most of life together, surrounded by a community that cares and supports one another.
By leaving a gift in your Will, you ensure we can continue to meet the growing demand for our services, even as external funding challenges increase. It allows us to plan confidently for the future, knowing we’ll be able to care for the people you love and support your community for future generations.
"When St Helena scooped us up as a family, the magic started."
