Wills and Legacies
When you consider your legacy, think about the world you want to leave behind. By leaving a gift in your Will to Hospice Isle of Man, you are not just making a donation; you are actively investing in a future where everyone can access compassionate, expert specialist palliative care.
Your legacy will ensure that our doors remain open, our teams are ready, and our patients are cared for with compassion and dignity during the most challenging of times.
Why your gift matters
Gifts in Wills (legacies) are critical to the long-term sustainability of Hospice Isle of Man. They provide the backbone that allows us to secure our future and plan, ensuring we can continue our mission for years to come.
For over 40 years, Hospice Isle of Man has been the recognised expert in specialist palliative and end-of-life care. As the only Hospice on the Island, our crucial work extends across the entire healthcare system, ensuring people facing life-limiting illnesses receive this essential, specialist support completely free of charge.
- Legacy donations account for around 20% of Hospice Isle of Man’s total income.
- In 2025, Hospice Isle of Man supported over 48% of all deaths on the Isle of Man.
- It costs us £7.5m annually to deliver our services
"I can only describe all the staff at Hospice as walking angels. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and everyone was so kind and caring. My mum wasn’t the easiest of patients and they were so patient with her and would go above and beyond to help her. My mum spent 12 days in Hospice and every day they kept me up to date with mum’s care." Claire Quirk-Kermeen - Patient Relative
