“Before coming under the care of St Elizabeth Hospice, we had no real idea what a hospice was or what it did. It is only when you receive their support that you fully understand the difference they make.

It is very important to have your Will in place, as it gives such peace of mind to know everything is in order.

For me, it is a meaningful way to give back to the hospice, to say ‘thank you’ for what they did for me and to help ensure the hospice can continue supporting other families like mine.

Writing your Will doesn’t take long with the help of a solicitor, but it can make a real difference to the hospice and the thousands of people supported by their vital services every year in our local community.”

“As in my case, being a relative of someone who is dying is an incredibly emotional experience. You may not always know how to cope, whereas the hospice has the experience of supporting families in these situations and can provide guidance and solace when it is most needed.

Giving back helps ensure that others can also benefit from their care, which is why I have decided to leave a gift in my Will to St Elizabeth Hospice.

The process of writing your Will is quite straightforward. I approached it with clear thoughts about what I wanted to happen and went to see a solicitor with a list of priorities.

Through writing your Will, you gain peace of mind knowing you have taken care of things as best you can and can trust your attorneys to carry out your wishes as fully as possible.”

“The hospice team were that bit of light we needed when our world felt so dark.

As a family, we are extremely grateful for the hospice. Without them I don’t know what situation we would have been in and Mum would not have had the dignified care she deserved.”

“Supporting St Elizabeth Hospice and their vital services is so important. From a family point of view, the hospice really makes life easier and allows you to be there for your loved one.”

“Without their support, I wouldn’t have seen my daughter get married or been able to meet my granddaughter. It is hard to pinpoint exactly what St Elizabeth Hospice means to me, but whenever I visit, it feels like being with family who are looking out for me.”
