Leaving a gift in your will

Have a lasting impact on the future of hospice care

By leaving a gift in your will to Wigan & Leigh Hospice, you’re helping ensure that compassionate care continues for generations to come. Your legacy will support people in our community when they need it most – and we’ll be here to guide you every step of the way, with honesty, respect, and gratitude.

A free will-writing service

You can write or amend your will for free with our Supporter Will Scheme.

We understand that making a will is a personal and important step. That’s why we offer our Supporter Will Scheme – a simple, accessible way to plan for the future, at no cost to you.

Thanks to the generosity of trusted local solicitors, you can write or amend your will free of charge, all year round. There’s no obligation to leave a gift to the hospice, but we hope you’ll consider supporting our work in lieu of solicitor fees.

Getting started is easy – email our Fundraising Team – and we’ll connect you with one of our panel solicitors to discuss your needs.

This is a meaningful way to take care of your loved ones while supporting a cause that makes a real difference in our community.

A gift that lasts

People leaving gifts in their wills has played a vital role in sustaining our services over the years – without them, we simply couldn’t deliver the level of care our community deserves. Whether large or small, every gift helps us provide free, compassionate care to people with life-limiting illnesses.

Even a small percentage – such as 1% of your estate – can have a lasting impact. Two-thirds of our funding comes from kind donations, including legacies, fundraising, and our shops.

To include Wigan & Leigh Hospice in your will, simply provide your solicitor with:

  • Charity name: Wigan & Leigh Hospice.
  • Charity number: 513400.

Our promise to you

We know that leaving a gift in your will is a deeply personal decision. It’s about trust, values, and the legacy you want to leave behind. That’s why we make this heartfelt pledge:

  • We’ll answer your questions honestly and promptly.
  • We’ll never pressure you – this is your decision, made in your own time.
  • We’ll respect your choices and your privacy.
  • We’ll welcome you in – if you’d like to visit the hospice and meet the people your gift will support, we’ll arrange it.
