A Gift in your Will

Leaving a gift in your will to The Sara Lee Trust can make a lasting difference to people living with cancer or another life-threatening illness. When illness leaves someone feeling isolated, anxious or in pain, our services provide something simple but incredibly important: a hand to hold.

Sara Lee died from cancer in 1996, aged just 32. She wanted to help people in Hastings and Rother access the complementary therapies and counselling they need to help them through their illness.

By leaving a gift in your will, you can help make Sara's dream a reality for many more people in the future.

Your Gift could....

  • Help someone feel less alone with free counselling, complementary therapies and therapeutic activities.

  • Bring comfort and support into the home for people at the end of life.

  • Give people access to care and support at our locations across Hastings and Rother.
    ​
  • Be a hand to hold when someone needs it most.

Leave a Gift in your Will

​Thank you for considering leaving a gift to The Sara Lee Trust in your will.

Leaving a gift doesn't have to mean choosing between your loved ones and a charity you care about. Even 1% of your estate could make a meaningful difference, while 99% remains for those closest to you.
