LEAVING A GIFT IN YOUR WILL TO THE HOSPICE
Safeguarding the Future With one in three people suffering from cancer at some point in their lives, and one in four dying from it, the Hospice’s services are a vital part of the local healthcare infrastructure, yet the NHS covers only 16% of our costs. The Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice relies on local individuals and organisations for support to help raise a total of £3.5 million a year – that’s £10,000 a day – to cover our day-to-day running costs. You may know someone or heard of someone - perhaps a friend, a colleague, a neighbour or a relative - who has been cared for by the Hospice. You probably know what a difference the Hospice can make to the lives of people facing the end of life, whether as a patient or a carer. Perhaps you don’t know how much the Hospice relies on the gifts that people leave to the Hospice in their Wills. Nearly one third of our income is from legacies. Without this money, we could not provide the very best care for all the local people who really need us. Most of us want to make sure that when we die our family and loved ones come first and are financially secure. After making sure they are looked after in your Will, leaving a gift to the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice is a wonderful way to help safeguard this service for future generations of local people. If you have already included the Hospice in your Will – thank you on behalf of the future generations of patients, carers, volunteers and staff at the Hospice. How to help the Hospice
