It costs £7.8 million each year to provide our Hospice care, which is given free of charge. We receive only 10% funding from the Government, meaning that 90% of our income needs to be raised through donations, fundraising activities, our Retail shops and Gifts in Wills.
Last year alone, one third of our income was derived from Gifts in Wills generously left to us by individuals like yourself.
Including Rowans Hospice in your Will is a meaningful way to help ensure we can continue to deliver compassionate, quality care for years to come.
Your gift will help pay for expert teams to maximise comfort and maintain dignity and quality of life for our patients from the moment they receive their diagnosis. It will also help to fund bereavement support for their families and friends.
This year our Make A Will Fortnight will be held between Monday, 07 October and Sunday, 20 October 2024. Our supporters will be able to book an appointment with a local participating solicitor and write a simple Will for a suggested donation of £250. The solicitors have kindly agreed to then re-direct the fee to Rowans Hospice as a donation.
Even if you already have a Will, it is essential to keep it up-to-date, especially after life-changing events such as getting married or divorced, a bereavement, or moving house.
Everyone’s circumstances are different, and we recommend you always take professional advice from a solicitor.
1. Fill out the form below to request an appointment with your preferred solicitor, who will then contact you directly.
2. At your appointment the solicitor will ask you for a suggested donation of £250 (for a Single Simple Will), which they will then re-direct to us as a donation.
