Leave a gift in your Will
Did you know on average around 25% of our charity income comes from gifts in Wills?
Help protect the future of hospice care in Oxfordshire with a gift that lasts beyond a lifetime.

Hospice care is everything you’d expect, and everything you wouldn’t.
It’s finality, uncertainty, and living for now with the weight of tomorrow. But it’s also love, laughter, favourite meals, wedding days, visits from beloved pets, family film nights, sharing life stories, birthday parties, and ensuring daily life can be enjoyed to its fullest.
Help it live on for all, for now, forever with a gift in your Will.
My husband Dave only lived for ten weeks following his cancer diagnosis, but Sobell House helped him to die as he lived, with great dignity and surrounded by love. I will be forever grateful for that.
My Uncle Lowell was very close to Dave, and decided to make a generous donation to the hospice in his memory. Little did we know that Lowell himself would need Sobell’s support very soon; shortly after moving to a care home, we discovered that he too had cancer. The Sobell House community nurses were absolutely incredible, and, as the executor of Lowell’s estate, it’s meant a great deal to me to continue his legacy and leave Sobell House a further donation in his Will. He would be absolutely thrilled to know that he’s helped people who are in similar situations to him and Dave at the end of life.
How can I leave a gift in my Will?
Use a solicitor or a Will writing service to update or make a Will. You may already have a solicitor, but if not, a good starting point is The Law Society’s database. Please get in touch with us to access our free Will writing service through the form below.
You will need our charity name (Sobell House Hospice Charity Ltd), number (1118646), and address (Sobell House Hospice Charity, Churchill Hospital, Old Road, Oxford, OX3 7LJ).
We are always happy to chat to you about the difference you could make to our work, but if you need legal or taxation advice, please contact a solicitor and/or HMRC.
We promise to never put you under any pressure, as we understand that leaving a gift in your Will is an important and private decision, and loved ones should always come first.
What impact will my gift have?
Currently, 1 in 4 people in the UK die without the care and support they need.
Gifts in Wills are crucial in helping to raise the much-needed funds that we need to keep caring for our community.
Generous gifts of all sizes over the last nearly 50 years have helped ensure specialist, compassionate care for thousands of people and their families.
You can help us be there for many more families in the future.
