Make or update your Will with Dougie Mac

Writing a Will is the only way to make sure the people you care about are looked after when you die.

Planning for your future and making a Will can help you express your love for family, friends as well as the causes you care about.

Once your friends and family are taken care of, you may want to consider including Dougie Mac in your Will to help us reach more local people facing a life-limiting illness.

Twice a year, in May and October, we run our Make a Will Month campaign, giving you the opportunity to write your Will free of charge when you make an upfront donation or include Dougie Mac in your Will.

Eve's legacy...

Dougie Mac were great when my Dad was diagnosed with lung cancer– not only were they there for Dad but for my Mum too. Whenever the nurses came to check on Dad, they’d always chat to mum about day to day things like shopping or what was on the TV.

We remember the hospice as a place of such caring and dignity, not somewhere that Dad just went to die. 

Last year, I was interested in writing my Will through Dougie Mac’s Make a Will Month. I got in touch with a helpful solicitor who wrote my Will for free after I said I wanted to leave something to the hospice. It was so easy to do and gave me peace of mind that everything is sorted. I know my wishes will be taken care of and my family don’t have to worry about anything.

Remembering Dougie Mac in my Will means more local people will be able to receive the same great care we did.
