Lakelands wants to continue to care for local people. In addition, the need to support those with cancer, heart disease and other life-limiting illnesses will increase over the coming years so we need to ensure our care-services are developed to meet those in need in our community. We can only do that with your help with a donation of a lasting legacy.

Benefits of making a will

Making or changing your will is straightforward. It will ensure that you make a positive choice about how you would like your assets to be divided after your death. If you don't make a will someone else will decide on your behalf. You will also be able to minimise the tax payable on your gift and any donation made to Lakelands is free of inheritance tax.

The type of gift in your will

A Residuary Gift is when you divide your estate into shares of percentages to family, friends and a nominated charity such as Lakelands. This is the most valuable way to leave your gift as it is not be affected by inflation.

A Pecuniary Gift is a specific cash gift which means you can decide exactly how much money you wish to leave to Lakelands. This type of gift is affected by inflation and you may wish to review this regularly to ensure that the value of your donation is not diminished over time.

A Specific Item - You may have specific items of value that would also support the work of Lakelands Day Care Hospice. By including the named specific item(s) in your will you can ensure it will benefit others after your death.

A Codicil - If you have already made a will but have decided that you would like to leave a gift you can make an addition without having to re-write your will. This is a legally binding supplement to your will and is drawn up and witnessed in the same way. It is also cost effective.

Please remember that you don't have to be rich to leave us a gift and it will cost you nothing now. It is the accumulation of many donations which provides our income and helps Lakelands to care. Every pound counts.
