Helping Local Care Continue for Future Generations
NHS Borders Health Charity is proud to shine a spotlight on the lasting difference that gifts in Wills can make as part of Legacy Week.
Every day, donations help us fund projects that go above and beyond what NHS budgets can provide, enhancing patient care, supporting staff wellbeing and improving experiences for patients and families across the Borders. From small comforts that make a difficult day a little easier, such as toiletries and on-ward activities, to specialist equipment, innovative projects and new technology, charitable support helps us make a real difference where it matters most.
A gift left in your Will can become part of that story.
Many people choose to leave a gift in their Will as a way of saying thank you for the care, kindness and compassion shown to them or a loved one. While family and friends will always come first, even a small gift can help ensure future generations of patients benefit from the extra support that charitable donations make possible.
One of the most common misconceptions about leaving a gift in a Will is that you need to be wealthy for it to have an impact. In reality, gifts of all sizes can make a meaningful difference. After providing for loved ones, even a small percentage of an estate can help fund future healthcare projects and improvements across NHS Borders.
By choosing to leave a gift to NHS Borders Health Charity, you are keeping your legacy local. Your kindness could help support the healthcare of future generations, including your own family, friends and neighbours.
As part of Legacy Week, we are also encouraging people to think about the importance of having an up-to-date Will. A Will is one of the most important documents you will ever write, helping ensure your wishes are carried out and providing peace of mind for those you care about most. It also offers an opportunity to continue supporting causes that are close to your heart long into the future.
To help you learn more, we are delighted to launch our free downloadable Wills Guide, packed with helpful information for anyone considering writing or updating a Will, including those who may wish to leave a gift to charity.
Every legacy gift is a deeply personal decision and a powerful expression of gratitude, kindness and community spirit. Whatever the size, your gift could help NHS Borders Health Charity continue to fund projects that enhance care and support patients, families and staff for years to come.
