Wakefield Hospice has been at the heart of the local community since 1990. We've provided care to thousands of people at the end of their lives, or those living with life-limiting illnesses.

You can help us continue our story and be here for anyone who needs us, for generations to come, by leaving a Gift in your Will.

With rising costs and growing demand for hospice services, these gifts are more important to us than ever. A Gift in your Will can help make sure Wakefield Hospice can continue to offer compassionate, free care to hundreds of people and their families each year, now and in the future.

With thanks to our supporting solicitors - you can now access our Will Writing services all year round.

Our generous participating solicitors, each of whom are waiving their fees, are offering you the opportunity to make a simple Will for a £100 donation to Wakefield Hospice, or a simple Couples Will for £150.

Wakefield Hospice, offering free care services to our local community for over three decades.

Only 25% of our funding comes from the government, meaning we rely heavily on community support - with Gifts in Wills providing a crucial role in our funding model. Every gift, large or small, helps. By leaving a small percentage of what’s left after you’ve taken care of friends and family, you can help make sure that local people – perhaps your relatives, friends or neighbours – can be cared for as you would wish. 

If your gift will be in memory of a loved one, you may wish to ask your solicitor to make a note of this in your Will. You’re also welcome to tell us now. If we know the name of the person you are honouring, we will enter it in our Book of Remembrance which is displayed at the hospice.
