When we think about the future, we often think about the people we love most. A will is one of the most important ways to protect them, but it can also be a powerful way to support causes close to your heart.
By leaving a gift in your Will to St Kentigern Hospice, you can help ensure compassionate care continues for generations to come.
Why Your Gift Matters
Every year, hundreds of people living with life-limiting illnesses rely on the specialist care provided by the hospice. As people are living longer with complex conditions, the need for this support is growing rapidly.
While care is always given free of charge, it is not without cost. Gifts left in Wills play a vital role in funding services—helping patients live with dignity, comfort, and support when they need it most.
Your legacy could help:
- Provide expert medical and nursing care
- Support families and carers during difficult times
- Ensure future generations can access hospice care
Even a small percentage of your estate can make a lasting difference.
A Gift That Reflects You
Leaving a gift in your Will is a personal decision—and there are different ways to do it:
- A share of your estate (residuary gift): A percentage of what remains after loved ones are provided for
- A fixed sum (pecuniary gift): A specific amount of money
- A specific item: Such as property, jewellery, or shares
Each option allows you to give in a way that feels right for you, while still putting family and friends first.
Peace of Mind for You and Your Loved Ones
Having an up-to-date Will ensures your wishes are respected and removes uncertainty for those closest to you. It gives clarity, reduces stress, and allows your loved ones to focus on what truly matters.
And if you choose to include a charitable gift, it becomes something even more meaningful—a way to create lasting impact beyond your lifetime.
