Gifts in Wills - Saint Catherine's

Leave a lasting gift

Make a Lasting Difference to Patients and Their Loved Ones

Leaving a gift in your will means that you will be a part of the future of Saint Catherine’s. Each year we need to raise over £6.2 million to make sure we can provide outstanding care to patients and their loved ones and without people leaving gifts in their wills we would not be able to achieve this total.

Leaving a gift could be anything you like. It could be a set sum of money, a percentage of your estate, or valuable possessions that you own. Even just leaving 1% of your estate could make a huge difference for patients at Saint Catherine’s.

We understand and appreciate that leaving possessions to your loved ones is likely to be your priority when writing your will, but after you have decided what you would like to leave to your loved ones, leaving a gift to Saint Catherine’s would help us to continue to provide outstanding care to those in our area living with a terminal illness.

Why Make a Will?

There are four main reasons why you should make a will:

To make things easier for your family or executor* – Without a will this can be more time consuming and stressful for them.
To ensure your wishes are met – Without a will everything will be shared out in a standard way defined by the law, which may not be what you would want.
To reduce inheritance tax – A will can help reduce the amount of inheritance tax that may be payable.
To ensure those you care about are looked after – A will is especially important if you have children or other family members who depend on you financially, or if you want to leave something to people outside your immediate family or causes you care about.

*an executor is someone you choose to take responsibility for administering your estate after you have died.
