Change starts with a will, and yours could make a lasting difference.
By leaving a gift in your will to our charity, you can help ensure that we’re able to support patients and families in the communities we serve. Because sometimes it’s the smallest steps that leave the biggest legacy.
Write or update your will for free this spring
This spring, we’ve made it easier than ever to write or update your will. We’ve partnered with expert estate planners Octopus Legacy, so you can create or update your will at no cost (applies to simple wills only, wills with trusts are also available at a discounted rate when you quote our charity name).
We’ll cover the cost of your will up to £150, which means you can:
- write a simple will for free, or
- create a will with trust at a discounted rate
Many of our supporters choose to leave a gift to St John’s Hospice, but there is no obligation to do so when using this service
Writing a will can bring peace of mind for you and your loved ones, and including a gift can help us continue providing vital palliative care now and in the future.
