Leave a legacy of kindness. Adding a gift in your will is a beautiful way to give back to the community.
One of the most important ways you can support The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation is to remember us in your will.
Bequests (gifts in wills) are one of the most important sources of funding for the Prince Charles Hospital Foundation. You too could help The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation in this way - but first you need a will. Your will is the only way to guarantee that people and causes you care for in your lifetime will be looked after when you have gone.
Making a will is a personal responsibility no matter how young or old you are or how much or how little you think you have to leave. Some of the bequests that have been left to the Foundation include cash, shares, property, and personal items such as jewellery.
Naturally, you will wish to ensure that your family is provided for first. After this you may decide that a gift to support research at The Prince Charles Hospital is a way of giving back to the community for years to come.
Please complete the form and one of our lovely donor care staff will be in touch soon to chat about your specific options.
For more information or to arrange a confidential meeting to discuss including The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation in your will, please contact Mick Dwane (General Manager).
