St Wilfrid's Hospice - 40th Anniversary Brochure

Give back to the future
The generosity and vision of people
like you has enabled St Wilfrid’s to
grow to the point where the hospice
supports over 2,200 local people
each year through our Inpatient
Unit, Community, and Patient
and Family Support Services.
A gift in your Will can help St Wilfrid’s
to support local people for the next 40
years, and into the future. You know that
your gift will help to ensure that no-one
dies, alone, afraid or in pain, and that the
memory of you and your loved ones lives
on into the future.
A legacy in memory
of a child helped
care for others in
the future
Ron and his wife Lily gave a gift of
£100,000 in their will 10 years ago
after they experienced, first hand,
the care that Nurses give to patients
and their families. They were with
their wonderful daughter, and only
child, Lyn, when she died from cancer
at the old hospice in Mill Gap Road.
They decided that in memory of their
child, they would leave half of their
estate to the hospice.
That £100,000 was invested into our
Community Nursing team, helping
to convert the accommodation that
was available to the team and to
provide extra nursing care. Today,
the team visits and cares for so many
more people than they we were able
to see in 2010. Last year, this was
over 5,300 visits.
