Gifts in Wills

A Legacy in Your Lifetime: Making the Most of Life

One of the most profound and impactful ways you can help East Lancashire Hospice in supporting people with life-limiting illness and their loved ones is by leaving us a gift in your Will. Your decision to leave a Will isn't just about assets and finances; it's about leaving behind a legacy of compassion in your lifetime.

Why Leave a Gift in your Will? 

Even if you are not in a position to make a donation now, by leaving us a gift in your Will you can show your long term support, and help us ensure we are there for more people in the future who need us. 

How your Legacy will make a difference

To offer all of our services to our community, we need to raise £5 million a year. Our services are provided completely free of charge to everyone who needs them within Blackburn, Darwen, Hyndburn and the Ribble Valley. 

Your legacy will support the future of East Lancashire Hospice and the development of our services to meet with the demands of hospice care in the community. 

Ways to Leave a Legacy

Our services are unique to each patient, and your decision to leave a gift in your Will is unique to you. You could choose to leave a set amount, or a percentage of your estate. It’s totally up to you how you leave a gift to East Lancashire Hospice, but every penny will be well spent in continuing to support our patients in making the most of life.  

It’s simple and quick to write a Will and we have a number of options to help. You could choose to write a completely free online Will with our partners Make A Will Online - https://­make­awil­lonline.­co.­uk/­eastla­nc­shos­pice

Alternatively, if you’d like to take legal advice and meet with a solicitor in person, or if you have a complex estate, we’d recommend our friends at Cribbin & Co, just give them a call to arrange your appointment - 01254 449 200 or email them - info@cribbinsolictors.co.uk 

If you’d prefer to use your own solicitor, we’d be grateful if you could let us know of your intention to leave a Will, so we can express our heartfelt gratitude and keep you updated on the impact of your generosity. 

If you're ready to leave a gift in your Will, or if you have any questions about supporting East Lancashire Hospice, please contact the fundraising team - 01254 965877. 
Your kindness matters more than you know.

Our Commitment to you:

It’s vital that everyone writes a Will, no matter what stage of life or personal circumstances. If you choose to remember us in your Will, we commit that:

• No matter what stage of the Legacy process, we will deal with you and your next of kin with sensitivity and compassion.
• We will endeavour to make sure your final wishes are carried out.
• If you chose to remain anonymous we will ensure that happens. Alternatively, if your family or loved ones would like to hear how your gift is helping the hospice, we’ll keep in touch with them in whatever way they choose.
• Although we can’t offer you legal advice, we will provide you with carefully chosen expert partners to assist in writing your Will and to help you put your wishes into place.

Thank you for considering leaving  gift in your Will to support East Lancashire Hospice.
