A gift in your Will

Leaving a charitable legacy in your Will to Chestnut Tree House not only provides personal comfort, but it supports everything the hospice does to help children with life-shortening conditions. We run an annual Will Writing Appeal in October which offers help to people when making a Will.

Our most important source of income is the support and donations we receive from individuals – and gifts in Wills contribute the most.

In fact, the care costs of 1 in every 4 children we support are completely funded by gifts in Wills.

Mr B has left a gift in his Will. When asked why, he responded with:

“It was a lovely feeling when I signed my Will and left the solicitors office knowing that I didn’t have to worry about my estate. I was content that I can continue to help give these special children the best life I can.”

It is thanks to individuals like Mr B that we will be able to provide care in the coming years. Could you be part of this group?

Make a Will Month

Every October, we run our Make a Will Month. Local solicitors support us by writing or amending single or joint Wills, in exchange for a monetary gift to Chestnut Tree House.

If you are interested in taking part in 2020, you can make an enquiry here.

We understand that if you decide to leave a gift in your Will to Chestnut Tree House, it’s a private matter, so please do not feel you have to tell us.
