When a child or family across Bristol, Bath, Swindon, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset or Wiltshire needs Jessie May, we want to be there. Gifts left to us in Wills help make that possible – today and long into the future.

Gifts in Wills provide around a third of the funding that makes our care possible. They help our nurses provide specialist hospice care in the comfort of a family’s own home, as well as supporting the wider family through difficult and uncertain times, including through family activities and bereavement support.

While we receive some statutory funding, more than 80% of the money we need each year comes from the generosity of our supporters.

A gift in your Will, after you have taken care of the people closest to you, is an extraordinary way to make a lasting difference. Whatever its size, your gift could help ensure that future generations of local children and families can receive expert, compassionate care at home when they need it most.

By remembering Jessie May in your Will, you can help make sure our nurses are there for families not just today, but for generations to come. Together, we can help hospice care live on for all, for now, forever.
