Leaving a gift in your will
Like most people, you have either already looked after your loved ones in your will, or you plan to. But you might not have considered that including a gift in your will to your local hospice is another way of ensuring the people who matter to you receive the care and support they need through their life’s journey. And you may not realise that gifts in wills don’t have to be large to be important.
Leaving a gift in your will to Havens Hospices won’t cost you anything in your lifetime, but it will give you the peace of mind that local hospice services will still be here for the people you care about, helping us support them to make every day of their life count.
For many people, making their will is a bit like the elephant in the room. They know they should consider it, but it can feel too hard to talk about.
We are here to offer support and advice when writing your will and leaving a gift to Havens Hospices so that your kindness can live on.
Everyone deserves the best possible care throughout their whole life’s journey. A gift in your will can make this possible.

If you are an Executor administering a will we understand that this can be a difficult and stressful process and we wish to offer as much practical support as we are able.
Happily married with two adult children, Paula thought she was “living the dream”. But in April 2022, she developed a cough and was in a lot of pain so went to A&E, where she was told there was a tumour on her lung, and the pain was coming from bone cancer. This all happened within a matter of weeks.
Paula had cancer before but was told this time her cancer couldn’t be cured.
“When I first visited Fair Havens, I pressed the buzzer, someone let me in, and it changed my life. Suddenly I was in an environment that understood me. I had nothing to hide. The rest of my life could have been very miserable, but it’s been full of joy thanks to Fair Havens.”
“If it wasn’t for people making donations, I wouldn’t be here now. If I could shake their hand or give them a hug, I would say a personal and heartfelt thank you.
"It’s generosity with no bounds when you give money to Havens Hospices."
We know a gift in your will is very personal and that not everybody wishes to tell us about their gift. However, if you do choose to tell us, we would like to thank you during your lifetime.
