Gifts in Wills
Leaving a gift in your Will can make a life-changing difference to the local community who receive care from Hospice at Home Carlisle and North Lakeland, ensuring we can continue to provide free care and support for patients and their families in the future.
The difference a Gift in your Will can make
Gifts in Wills make a huge difference to all those who need us here at Hospice at Home Carlisle and North Lakeland, helping to provide end of life care at home now and in the future, too.
We need to raise around £2.2 million every year. 85% of this comes from charitable donations of which 21% comes from kind donations in wills.
The gifts provided in wills enables us to fund a day of clinical care a week.
A gift of just 1% left to us in your Will can help us to make life a little easier for those facing a difficult and uncertain time in the future.

Sally Nelson, one of our volunteers, tells us why she has decided to leave a legacy after providing at home care for her mother…
'At the time we had very little help, we kept her at home and 6 months later she died in her own bed with us and her beloved dog with her. Sad though it was, I felt happy for her and there is no doubt that dying peacefully at home helped the bereavement process for us. I think everyone should have this option - that’s why in the late 1990’s I joined Hospice at Home and am going to leave a gift in my will to help others benefit from this wonderful service.'
Hospice at Home CEO Debbie McKenna
