Let kindness and care live on

You can let kindness and care be the legacy you leave behind. A gift in your Will allows our work to support dying and grieving people to continue on, for generations to come.

Our work to support dying and grieving people could not continue without people like you.

At Sue Ryder, gifts left in Wills make up a third of our fundraising income and help to fund our essential palliative care and bereavement support services.

Last year, with your support, we cared for over 9,400 people in our hospices and their homes. Additionally, nearly 160,000 people from across the UK used our Online Bereavement Community to connect with others who are grieving

Looking ahead, our services will be needed even more. Sue Ryder research shows that the demand for palliative care will increase by 55% between 2021 and 2031.

We want to help everyone who needs us in the years ahead

We want to be there for everyone who needs us, like Nic.

Nic’s family received expert support and compassion when his mum, Penny, was nearing the end of her life. Nic shares why this kindness and care meant so much and how it inspired Penny to include a gift in her Will to Sue Ryder.

Mum really appreciated that we were able to be there for her in a more supportive role, leaving complex care to the experts.

Of course, we understand that family will come first and that writing or updating a Will needs time and consideration. That’s why we have created a free Gifts in Wills Guide, containing advice and guidance on how to prepare and write your Will.

If you haven’t already, we hope you will consider supporting us in this way. Your very special gift will let kindness and care live on, for generations to come.
