  • St Ann’s Hospice has always been a big part of Marguerite Christie’s life. Her mum was a dedicated volunteer for over three decades, from the hospice’s opening in the early 1970s. Now, Marguerite has made a lasting connection with St Ann’s by choosing to leave a gift in her Will. Reflecting on her decision, she shared: "My mum wanted to give something back to society—that’s what led her to volunteer at St Ann’s in the first place, and it’s why she left a gift in her Will. The hospice relies on fundraising and donations, so I believe it’s a really good cause to support. You never know who in your life might need St Ann’s.” Help hospice care live on—for all, for now, forever. 💙 Leave a gift in your Will to St Ann’s Hospice: buff.ly/4i2kRyb

  • How does it feel to be an Everyday Hero? 💭 “Even though I didn’t know much about the hospice when I first started giving regularly, I felt good in myself knowing that my money was going to a local charity and a worthy cause, and that I was helping to make a difference to someone’s life.” - Marie Become a regular giver here: https://buff.ly/3ERefnM

  • Gifts in Wills are vital to the future of hospice care, providing one third of the voluntary income hospices rely on to deliver essential support for people like Amanda’s mum, Jackie. Reflecting on her family's experience, Amanda shared: "At the time, we all thought—like many people do—that Mum going into the hospice meant it was the end of life. Without any experience, I feel that’s what people assume a hospice is." "Our perception changed instantly once we arrived at St Ann’s. Everything was explained to Mum in a way she could understand—why she was there and what they were going to do for her. Within 24 to 48 hours, she had a smile on her face. It was like a complete switch.” By leaving a Gift in your Will, you can help ensure hospices like ours continue providing compassionate, free care to hundreds of thousands of patients and families—now and in the future. 📖 Read more about Amanda’s experience and how to set up your gift here: https://lnkd.in/en9YAahA
