Pledge your legacy

Why your gift matters

Leaving a gift in your Will is one of the most powerful ways you can support Saint Michael’s Hospice.

Here at Saint Michael’s, we believe in creating special moments for families, both on our Inpatient Unit and in the comfort of people’s homes, that will create a legacy that lasts forever. We provide vital care and support to those living with terminal illness and bereavement, as well as helping people to truly spend their final days as they wish, surrounded by peace, support and with those they love.

Just as this incredible support would not exist without hospices across the UK, hospice care would not exist without you. A gift in your Will helps ensure care at the end of life is here for everyone who needs it, both now and in the future. It’s ours to protect.

Help hospice care live on for all, for now, forever. Pledge your legacy to Saint Michael’s Hospice.
