Why your gift matters

Leaving a gift in your Will is one of the most powerful ways you can support Herriot Hospice Homecare.

Everyone deserves access to end-of-life care, so they can die in a place where they feel safe and comfortable, creating memories that will stay with their loved ones forever. Herriot Hospice Homecare provides people across Hambleton and Richmondshire with vital end-of-life care, both in the place they call home, and at the newly opened Herriot Hospice@The Lambert.

The care we offer wouldn’t be possible without gifts in Wills from generous supporters like you. By including Herriot Hospice in your Will, you will help our hospice care to make a difference and support those who need our services for years to come. A gift of any size, large or small, makes a real difference to the lives of people who need hospice care across our communities.

• We are always grateful for gifts left to us and would love the opportunity to thank the next of kin personally. If any family members would like to visit us, we would warmly welcome them.
