One in four people we care for is thanks to gifts in Wills.
We feel incredibly privileged to provide care and support for local people and their families who are facing a life limiting illness. We often hear that the support they’ve received from Hospice at Home West Cumbria went far beyond their expectations, helping them to manage in situations they never thought they would be able to cope with.
How you can make a lasting difference
Thanks to the gifts people have left us in their Wills, we have been able to recruit more nurses, develop our services, and ensure our teams are trained to deliver first class compassionate care. Every single gift we receive, not matter how large or small, helps us continue to provide the best palliative end of life care for patients and their families.
All our services are completely free, but every year we need to raise over £1.5m to help people in West Cumbria. However you choose to support us, you can be sure that Hospice at Home West Cumbria will benefit fully from your donation, as gifts in Wills are exempt from inheritance tax. We always recommend you consult with a professional for all tax advice.

When my family needed help, Hospice at Home West Cumbria were there for us. They cared for my lovely mum when she was so poorly, supporting us through sad and difficult times. Their kindness gave us precious time with Mum; time to talk, to be together, and to say the things we wanted to say before it was too late. I honestly don’t know who we would have turned to, or how we would have coped, without them.That is why leaving a gift in my Will to Hospice at Home West Cumbria matters so much to me. It is a way of helping other families through those same difficult times, so they too can feel supported and never alone. My hope is that this gift will help Hospice at Home West Cumbria continue bringing comfort, kindness, and special moments for families when they need it most.
