Your Gift, our Future
Do you know that as a small local charity, more than 85% of our funds come from people like you either giving donations, taking part in fundraising events, supporting our shops and leaving gifts in Wills.
In fact the kindness of supporters leaving a gift to the Hospice in their Will has helped to fund many of our services over the years and has been particularly vital during the pandemic and in the current financial climate.

Claire Langston, Head of Fundraising at St Luke’s, explains: “We are always overwhelmed and so incredibly grateful when a supporter remembers the Hospice in their Will. It is amazing to think that a decision someone made, perhaps years previously, when writing their Will could have such a positive impact on St Luke’s future. They really are leaving a lasting legacy which will benefit so many local people and their families.
“This was keenly felt during the pandemic when some generous gifts in Wills made a huge difference to St Luke’s and really did see the Hospice through some of the toughest times. If only we could tell those supporters what their kindness has meant.”
We understand that leaving a gift in a Will is a significant decision. We appreciate every single donation we receive – big or small. A gift of just 1%, for example, in your Will to St Luke’s Cheshire Hospice will make a difference to future patient care and ensures those closest to you receive the remaining 99%.
