Strathcarron Hospice are asking people across the Forth Valley to leave gifts in their wills to support the sector.
Gifts fund the equivalent of care for 30,000 people every year.
More than 100 hospices across England, Scotland and Wales have joined a campaign.
Strathcarron Hospice needs to raise over £16,637 every single day,
Mags McCarthy, CEO Strathcarron Hospice: “Over 10% of Strathcarron Hospice’s annual income comes from Gifts in Wills. This helps us pay for person-centred nursing care, equipment, care in the Hospice, care in people’s homes. Gifts in Wills help us keep our services FREE for people across Forth Valley, Cumbernauld and Kilsyth.
“But, just as this incredible support wouldn't exist without hospices across the UK, hospice care wouldn't exist without YOU. Strathcarron relies heavily on charitable donations to keep our doors open. With rising costs and growing demand for hospice services, these gifts are now more important to us than ever. That's why we've come together to shine a light on the essential role hospices play in our communities and protect our future”.
