Leave a gift in your will

Your hospitals. Your gift. Your legacy.

Did you know that around a third of what we do here at Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity is made possible by those who kindly leave a gift in their will?

By leaving a gift in your will, you can change the lives of patients treated in Bristol city centre, South Bristol and Weston hospitals. From the latest equipment to ground-breaking medical research, this incredible generosity makes sure our hospitals always have the best treatment available for your loved ones.

A gift in your will can ensure University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) recruits and keeps the best staff in the NHS by offering them the training and support to continue delivering outstanding care.

Your legacy will transform tired ward environments, future-proofing the care available to your friends and family for generations to come.

Without legacy donations, there would be no MRI scanner at South Bristol Community Hospital. There wouldn’t be a dedicated children’s unit at Bristol Eye Hospital, and the Bristol Heart Institute wouldn’t have the equipment needed to save lives.

Find out how Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity can help you leave a gift in your will. Call us on 0117 927 7120 or email [email protected].
