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 generously left a gift in his Will: “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?

If you are considering leaving a gift in your Will to Chestnut Tree House, or just want a bit more information, we have put together a Legacy brochure.

You can also contact Development Fundraiser, Rosie Last, on 01903 706351 or email Wills@stbh.org.uk if you have any questions.

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 learning more, visit our Make a Will Month page to find out which solicitors are taking part.

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.

If you do decide to let us know about your gift, we will invite you to special events and treat you like the VIP you are.

We are members of the Fundraising Regulator and we agree to ensure our fundraising is legal, open, honest and respectful. Read our Fundraising Promise to understand what this means.
