A Gift in Your Will

Leaving a gift in your will to The Sara Lee Trust means the world to people who need “a hand to hold” when the effects of cancer or another life threatening illness leave them feeling isolated, anxious or in pain.
Sara Lee, who died from cancer in 1996 at the age of 32, wanted to be able to help people in Hastings and Rother to receive the complementary therapy care and counselling they need to help them through their illness. Your gift will help to achieve that dream for many more people into the future.

Your Gift could

Provide free counselling, complementary therapies and therapeutic group activities.

Support home visits from a counsellor or complementary therapist for people at end of life.

Help provide therapy and counselling at our purpose designed locations across Hastings and Rother.

Make a real and lasting difference to someone who needs 'a hand to hold'.
