Leave us a gift in your will

A gift in your will can help us to fund the heart of our organisation – the helpline.

You can help us provide support and guidance to people when they need it most by leaving a gift in your will today. 

At Compassion in Dying, we support you to make informed choices, start honest conversations about death and dying with your loved ones, and record and revisit your wishes whenever you want, for free. 

Leaving us a gift in your will is one of the most important ways you can continue to support us in helping people to have the death that’s right for them. 

Whether it’s £50 or £50,000, leaving something to us in your will really does make a difference. It is only due to the generosity of those who’ve helped us in their wills in the past that we’ve been able to ensure more people are in control of their end-of-life care. 

With a gift in your will, we can continue supporting people at the end of life and allow them to have what they consider to be a good death. In a place they choose, with the people who matter. Having the care and treatments they want, and not the ones they don’t. 

A gift in your will can help us to fund the heart of our organisation – the helpline. 

“Dealing with my mum dying was a terrible shock; but to then be faced with no one caring about her wishes to refuse life sustaining treatment was traumatic. Before I found Compassion in Dying there was no one who could help me contextualise what was happening. When they picked up the phone it was like somebody threw me a lifeline. They gave me the information and suggestions I needed to engage with the system as her health attorney and fight for my mum’s wishes to be respected at the end of her life.”

By leaving us a gift in your Will, you’re leaving behind a legacy of compassion and helping our services to remain free when people need them most.

Gifts in wills made up over 50% of our income in 2025. This made a huge difference in our ability to provide free support for more people.  

You could make a lasting difference to the way people die in this country.
