Leave a Gift in your Will
Help hospice care live on for all, for now, forever.
This is hospice care
For over four decades we have been proudly providing exceptional end-of-life care free of charge to the communities of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. But this vital support wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of people like you. A Gift in your Will can help ensure we can continue to deliver free, compassionate care to anyone who needs us, for generations to come.
The difference your kind gift will make
Thanks to our compassionate care, John had a good death.
Margaret and John had been married for over 40 wonderful years, but then John began to suffer from multiple health problems. John had a lifetime fear of hospitals, so Margaret did as much as she could for him at home. However, in the last week of John’s life, Margaret was really struggling with the stress of looking after him. Their GP suggested Nottinghamshire Hospice could help. John was looked after at home by our trained, caring staff. He died, peacefully, surrounded by his family and home comforts.
Could you help others like John to have a peaceful death?
I will forever be grateful to the caring, compassionate staff at Nottinghamshire Hospice. They treated John with dignity. What’s more, I could get some rest which was very much needed.
What your gift could do
We need to raise nearly £4m every year to provide our care. With rising costs and growing demand for our services, your support is more important to us than ever.
Every single gift, no matter its size means the world to us and will have a lasting impact in your local community. Your kindness will live on long after you’re gone, ensuring nobody facing an incurable illness in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire is left to cope alone, now and in the future.
Hospice in Your Home
Your gift could help provide a nurse to care for someone in the comfort of their own home, allowing their family to get some much-needed rest.
Wellbeing
You could help fund group activities and 1-2-1 support aimed at improving the quality of life for those facing the diagnosis of an incurable illness.
Bereavement Support
Your gift could help provide support to our patients and their families at what is a devastating and emotional time.
