“I cannot thank the hospice team enough for all the love and care they gave to my darling wife. Her last days were filled with happiness, the change in her from the moment she entered the hospice was better than I could have ever hoped for. I will cherish that memory forever. Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Why May chose to leave a gift in her Will to guard our future:
“St Julia’s is very close to my heart. The care meant nothing was ever too much trouble. They’d look after me like they did Mary. You’re safer there than anywhere. If I needed to, I’d ask to go to St Julia’s. When you’re poorly you want that kindness and compassion”
“I’ve left a gift in my Will because it’s how they looked after me and Mary and I think things like that are precious. I talk about St Julia’s a lot and say I’ve been down there and I know what it’s like. I could stay there with Mary and there aren’t many places you can do that. You can’t fault any of them.”
“To thank them for the excellent care they gave to my late Husband during the last 2 weeks of his life in St Julia’s”
“I am a Ward Volunteer and I really enjoy just being there to help in any way that I can. The work of the charity is much needed in Cornwall”
“My partner died of cancer and although she died at home I know what a wonderful and necessary service hospices provide”
“Because my Father was looked after in Mount Edgcumbe in 2009”

Leaving a gift in your Will is simpler than you may think. Here’s how:
If you do choose to leave a gift in your Will to Cornwall Hospice Care, we would be honoured if you could include a few words in your Will to explain why. While we are always deeply grateful to receive these incredible gifts, we don’t always know the stories behind them – knowing why you chose to do so means so much to our teams.
We have strong links with many of the professional Cornish law firms. Several of them provide free appointments for our supporters to write, or update their Wills. To find out how to book one an appointment, please contact our team via email on giftsinwills@cornwallhospice.co.uk or call 01726 66868 (option 2).
We have partnered with the trusted and professional platform, Make A Will Online, who offer a safe and easy service, which is rated ‘Excellent’ on Trust Pilot.
It takes as little as 15 minutes to complete your Will, and every document is checked by a fully qualified solicitor shortly after you’ve finalised it for peace of mind.
When you make a Will, we are told that a gift has been pledged. This helps our charity enormously in our future planning.
