HOW LEGACIES CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Your gift
will ensure future generations receive the care and support they need. A gift in your will doesn’t need to be large
to make a difference and we receive all types of gifts from small items of
value as well as a range of cash sums. Whatever size of gift you choose to
leave, your gift could help in the following ways.
*A
sum of £200 would allow us at the Centre to give an additional 5 hours of
complementary therapy. Which in itself does not sound much but to
somebody who has not had any time to themselves because they have been caring
for their loved one, they think they have been given a wonderful gift.
*A
sum of £500 would allow for 30 hours of welfare advice, which when the main
wage earner is in hospital can easily alleviate the stress of worrying how the
household bills are going to be paid, so that then relieves the
husband/wife/carer of that.
*If
we were to be donated a £1000 then that would allow us to hold 40 extra
counselling sessions to help and support those dealing with a terminal or pro-longed
illness. This is not only for the patient but also their families.
*A
sum of £2000 this would allow the Centre to give a total of 80 additional
hourly relaxation sessions. This would make an enormous difference to the
patient, which in turn
can actually affect the wellbeing of the whole family unit. Response from
those sessions that have already taken place in the Centre has been over
whelming and as such this is one area that we really want to expand.
It is thanks
to people like you who remember us in their Will that we can continue to
provide the services within the Louise Hamilton Centre and support them, their
families and carers. It costs over £200,000 a year to maintain the Centre and
gifts in wills is an essential source of income.
It is
helpful for us to know about any intended gifts so that we can thank you for
your incredible generosity and keep you informed about our good work and future
developments at the Centre.
