Leave a Gift in Your Will
By leaving St Mary’s Hospice a gift in your Will, you can make a lasting difference to local people and families across Furness and South Lakes who need our support.
Every gift, whatever its size, makes a lasting difference.
As we receive only around 20% of our funding from the government, we are so grateful to those who choose to leave a gift to St Mary’s in their Will.

Writing your Will is incredibly important, but it’s also an opportunity to take the time to reflect more widely on what matters most to you.
We have created a guide to help you write your Will, providing advice, tips and checklists to support you through the process and to prompt important conversations about your preferences for the future.
Recording and sharing what is important to you with those you trust helps to ensure your wishes are honoured and provides support and reassurance to those you leave behind.

The rewards of pledging a gift in your Will
Make a lasting difference
A gift in your Will creates ripples of care and support that extend beyond your own lifetime. You’re actively ensuring your values and kindness continue to make a difference to others for years to come.
Benefit from tax advantages
Gifts left to registered charities can be exempt from inheritance tax. This not only allows you to maximise your donation but can often mean a reduced tax bill for the rest of your estate.
Remember a loved one
If someone close to you has used our services, a gift can be a loving tribute to their memory, supporting others who are going through a similar journey.
Stay connected
If you let us know and give your consent, we’d love to share our future plans with you, invite you to special events and keep connected in a way that feels right for you.
Advice for Solicitors and Executors

This is Hospice Care: National Campaign
Across the UK, hospices are supporting hundreds of thousands of people every year, as well as the families, friends and carers around them.
St Mary’s is proud to be taking part in the national Hospice UK Legacy Campaign – This is Hospice Care – joining 127 hospices across the UK.
At St Mary’s Hospice, we’re here for patients and families at some of the most challenging times in their lives. We’ve been here for people across Furness and South Lakes for more than 35 years, and with the support of our community, we hope to be here for the next 35 years and beyond.
Meet Cathy
Everyone decides to leave a gift in their Will for very different reasons.
St Mary’s provided care to Martin from Ulverston after a five-year battle with cancer. Martin’s wife, Cathy, recalls the difference St Mary’s care made to her family.
Alison Alger, Gifts in Wills Manager
Thank you for considering leaving a gift in your Will to St Mary’s Hospice.
We respect that giving is a very personal experience.
You don’t need to tell us you are leaving a gift to St Mary’s Hospice, but doing so helps us plan for the future. Of course, we’d also love to say thank you, keep you informed about our plans, the services you care about and invite you to special St Mary’s events.
Please be assured that the information you provide will be treated with strict confidentiality.
If you would like to let us know about a gift in your Will, please get in touch with me using my contact details below, or please complete the return slip on the right.
