Did you know your donation to Willow Wood Hospice could be worth 25% more, at no extra cost to you? 🥰

If you're a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid allows us to claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate, so your donation can go further in supporting patients from your community in our care 💜

And together, you're already making a huge difference! 🙌

✨ In 2025/26, your generosity helped us raise around £140,000 through Gift Aid alone. That’s enough to cover the cost of providing all of our vital services for around two weeks!

So, whether you're donating online or giving items to one of our charity shops, please check if you're eligible and tick the Gift Aid box ☑️

You can also make a Gift Aid declaration for eligible donations you’ve already made, as well as future donations, helping us raise even more to care for local people when they need us most 💙
