“How people die remains in the memory of those who live on”
Dame Cicely Saunders
Founder of the Hospice movement

give a gift in your will to last generations

A gift in your will can bring dignity, peace, and support to patients when they need it most. By remembering Hospice Aid UK in your will, you’re helping ensure vital hospice care continues long into the future. Your legacy can fund dedicated palliative care nurses, specialist beds, bathing equipment that helps preserve dignity, or essential respite care for families across the UK.

Why it matters:
  • 1 in 4 people receiving hospice care in the UK are supported by legacy gifts
  • Charitable bequests raise over £3 billion a year for UK charities (Third Sector: Smee & Ford)
  • It’s tax-free and may reduce inheritance tax for your loved ones

Leaving a gift is simple to arrange and truly life-changing in its impact.

your loved ones remembered

We work with Much Loved, an online tribute charity, where you can create a special memorial website in tribute to your loved one. A place where you can share memories, thoughts and stories with family and friends as well as light candles, add music, photos and videos.

You can create your page at www.muchloved.com

You can also collect fundraising donations for a special charity through Much Loved. Many people like to celebrate a loved one’s life by supporting a cause close to their heart. By supporting Hospice AID UK, your donations will help us pay for emergency funding, specialised equipment and funding which Hospices cannot get elsewhere.

If you wish to register your arrangements for your in memory donation with the charity and require buckets or tins and require support from your funeral director, please call 08456060510 or email trisha@localhost:8080.

easyfundraising

Sign up to easyfundraising and your favourite brands will donate to Hospice Aid UK whenever you shop with them.

How it works: Brands donate a percentage of what you spend – for example, book a £150 hotel through booking.com and they’ll donate £4.50 (3%). Some retailers pay flat amounts – confused.com donates £15 for every car insurance policy, regardless of price.

It doesn’t cost you anything extra, and every donation helps hospices across the UK.
