Why gifts in Wills matter

Your Will, your wishes, our future

Helping Myton be there tomorrow

If you’re reading this, Myton may already mean something to you or someone you love. Making a Will is a simple way to look after the people and causes that matter most to you. It brings peace of mind knowing your wishes are recorded and can make things easier for your loved ones.

Whether making your first Will or updating an existing one, having it professionally prepared helps ensure your wishes are clearly understood. You may wish to review your Will after marriage, the arrival of children or grandchildren, moving home or losing someone close to you.

Janine's story

“I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have a bed here at Myton.”

Janine is a patient at The Myton Hospices. For her, having a hospice bed means specialist care in a warm, calm environment, with her family able to be by her side when she needs them most.

I know that in the future I obviously will need to be here for my end of life care, and it is so important to me and my family knowing that we are going to get the best care and support.

Janine, Myton patient
