Care Begins with Kindness

At Evora Hospice, care begins with kindness — a steady, compassionate presence in life’s most fragile moments.
It brings comfort, dignity, and reassurance not only to patients but also to the families who love them.
Your compassion today can touch lives tomorrow. By leaving a gift in your Will, you can ensure the care you value continues for future generations.

What a Legacy Really Means

A legacy gift is not just a donation. It is kindness that continues long after you’re gone.

It becomes a quiet promise — one that speaks of care, compassion, and humanity:
• No one should face the end of life alone
• Comfort and dignity will always be within reach
• Families will be supported with patience, understanding, and care
• Compassion will continue even after goodbye

 

“A legacy isn’t what we leave behind — it’s the kindness that continues to care”

Why Your Gift Matters

Legacy gifts help us provide:

  • Expert nursing and palliative care
  • Emotional and spiritual support for families
  • Calm, compassionate environments at the end of life
  • Ongoing bereavement and after-care support

Every act of kindness creates a ripple — often unseen but deeply felt. Your compassion becomes care. Your kindness becomes presence. Your values leave lasting impact.

Alan’s Story

"We all look after each other — that’s what it’s all about. Care, love and compassion."

Alan served many years in the Ambulance Service, where compassion, dignity, and care were daily realities. Those same values led him to leave a gift in his Will to Evora Hospice.

“Knowing my kindness will continue to support families through Evora Hospice gives me real peace of mind. It’s knowing where it’s going, knowing how it will help others — people I’ll never meet — and that brings me real joy. I’ll carry that with me till I’m called home.”

You Don’t Need to Be Wealthy

Every gift — large or small — becomes an act of kindness.
You don’t need to be wealthy, decide an amount now, or change your plans for loved ones.
A legacy gift isn’t about money — it’s about values, compassion, and the world you want to leave behind.

Plan your legacy today.

How to Leave a Gift in Your Will

  • Step 1: Speak with Your Solicitor

Include a gift to Evora Hospice — a percentage, fixed sum, or specific item.

  • Step 2: Include Our Details

Evora Hospice, Registered Charity Number: NIC101906

  • Step 3: Let Us Know (Optional)

Allows us to thank you and honour your wishes; your privacy is always respected.

 

Three simple gifts you can leave in your Will to Evora Hospice are:

  1. A fixed sum of money known as a Pecuniary gift.
  2. A Specific gift is an item of value such as a piece of jewellery, shares or property.
  3. A Residuary gift is a percentage of the residue of your estate, after providing for loved ones and covering administrative expenses.

Remember, legacies to charities are tax-free so leaving a gift to Hospice can help reduce the tax payable on your estate.

Once your family is looked after we ask that you consider leaving a gift to your local Hospice.  To do this the solicitor will need the following:

  • Charity Name: Evora Hospice
  • Address: St Johns House, Courtenay Hill, Newry, BT34 2EA
  • Registered Charity Number: NIC101906

Wording for a gift

We recommend speaking to a professional when drawing up or amending your Will. If you decide to leave a gift to the Hospice, your legal representative may use some specific wording to ensure your wishes are carried out.

The sample wording below covers the main types of charitable gifts:

‘I give to Evora Hospice, St John’s House, Courtney Hill, Newry, Co Down, BT34 2EB, Registered Charity Number: NIC101906, ……………….. % of my estate / the sum of £……………….. / specific item(s) ……………………………….. to be used for its general charitable purposes and I declare that the receipt of the Treasurer or duly authorised Officer shall be a full and sufficient discharge for my Executors.’
