A third of our work is made possible by gifts in Wills.
Gifts in Wills (Legacy gifts) are a vital source of income for our Charity and the Royal United Hospital (RUH), Bath. The generous donations received from our supporters enable us to plan for the future and ensure we are around in the future to continue to help our patients and make a real difference to the Royal United Hospitals.
Your gift to The Forever Friends Appeal will be used wherever the need is greatest, or you can specify a hospital or area of work.
We are so grateful to our incredible supporters who have generously left gifts to our hospitals in their wills.
If you would like any further information, or you wish to talk to someone about leaving a legacy, please contact Jan Witt, Legacy Officer on 01225 825819 or jan.witt@nhs.net
