St Andrew’s Hospice is proud to announce the launch of the “This is Hospice Care” campaign, a ground breaking collaboration between 143 hospices across England, Scotland and Wales, brought together by Hospice UK.

Hospices like St Andrew’s Hospice are at the very heart of communities, offering compassionate care and support when we need it most. For many of us, a hospice will touch our lives, whether for ourselves, a loved one, or a friend, providing comfort, dignity, and expert care through life’s most challenging times.

But just as this incredible support wouldn’t exist without hospices across the UK, hospice care wouldn’t exist without you.

Hospices, including St Andrew’s, rely heavily on charitable donations to keep their doors open.

Lorna McCafferty, Trusts, Legacy and Individual Giving Manager at St Andrew’s Hospice told us: “Legacy donations are truly transformative for our hospice. They provide us with the invaluable ability to plan for the future and ensure we can continue to offer exceptional care to our patients and their loved ones.

“Each legacy gift, no matter the size, makes a lasting difference, enabling us to enhance our services, support our staff, and ultimately improve the quality of life for those facing life-limiting illnesses. We are incredibly grateful to those who choose to leave a gift in their will, helping us to provide compassionate care for generations to come. Together, we can make sure that hospice care lives on for all, for now, forever.”

Throughout March, St Andrew’s Hospice runs its annual Make a Will Month campaign.

During this month, participating Solicitors across Lanarkshire waive their fee for writing a basic Will in return for a suggested donation to the hospice.

When you write a Will and keep it up to date, you can feel secure in the knowledge that your wishes will be honoured after you are gone and that the people you care about will be provided for.

If you have an existing Will but would like to leave a gift to St Andrew’s Hospice, you can do this by having a Codicil added to your Will. Find out more here.
