Help hospice care live on for all, for now, forever
When someone in the Harrogate district needs us, we’re there. But only because someone else remembered us in their Will. Gifts in Wills fund one in three people we care for – that’s how vital they are. Without them, we might lose our ability to deliver end-of-life care to everyone who needs it. Hospice care is free at the point of use. But, unlike the NHS, it is not fully state-funded. While hospices across the UK, receive some government funding, more than £1 billion of the £1.6 billion we need each year comes from generous donors like yourself. The truth is, with rising costs and growing demand for hospice services, these gifts are more important to us than ever.
Including Saint Michael’s Hospice in your Will is a powerful way to make a difference that lives on. Your generous gift costs nothing today, but it ensures that expert care and comfort will always be here for local people facing terminal illness and bereavement today, tomorrow and for years to come. Your Gift ensures that when your friend gets that diagnosis, when a local family faces the unthinkable, when someone you know needs dignity and comfort, we’re here. Not just today, but for generations to come. Together, we can help hospice care live on for all, for now, forever.

I’m leaving a gift in my Will…
Fay is kindly leaving a gift in her Will to Saint Michael’s, after we cared for her husband George at home in 2021. Fay said:
“I cannot put into words the kindness and care the staff provided in George’s last few days. He wanted to be at home, and I was able to be there with him until the very end.”
Fay’s support in George’s memory will help to make a meaningful difference and ensure the hospice can be there for those who need us.
