Leave a Gift in your Will
Gifts in Wills fund 1 in 2 of our grants to support better care
We all need to plan for the future to ensure our friends and family are well provided for after our lifetime, yet many people either do not have a will, or have one that is out of date. By keeping an up-to-date will, you can have peace of mind knowing that your loved ones will be taken care of even if you are no longer here.
Once your loved ones are taken care of, you may wish to leave a gift to a charitable cause that is close to your heart. Legacies from supporters make up a very important income stream for many charities. If you decide to leave a charitable gift when writing a will, the donation can be as small or large as you like - your contribution will always make a difference and be greatly appreciated.
By including Norfolk & Norwich Hospitals Charity in your will, you are ensuring that we can provide the best possible medical care for your loved ones and make a long-lasting difference to your local hospitals.
Nicholas Fuller
Nick Fuller was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy at a very young age, and his parents were told that he would live for about 35 years. Nick passed away aged 54, having lived a very full, enjoyable life, travelling all over Europe, Egypt and Barbados for holidays.
Nick was an amazing young man who never let his disability affect his approach to life, and always had a smile on his face.
Nick decided to leave a legacy to support the NNUH, which had provided him with what his father has described as 'fantastic treatment'.
His gift was partially used to purchase respiratory equipment, benefitting other MND patients, with the balance being used towards the purchase of two additional CT scanners at the Community Diagnostic Centre. These scanners will mean that cancer diagnoses will be quicker, and waiting times reduced.
We are very grateful for Nick's extremely generous gift, which will benefit his local community for years to come.
Leona Levine
Leona Levine was part of a family who ran a jewellery business in Norwich for 150 years. Always a generous supporter of charities and good causes, she was one of the founding members of Norwich Young Farmers Club and a treasurer of the Friends of Norwich Museum.
Leona was diagnosed with breast cancer in the early 2000s and was treated by the NNUH team, who her partner Bruce described as 'second to none'.
Leona had to wear glasses from an early age, and when she developed cataracts the eye operation was so successful that she was pleased to be able to get out of bed without having to put her glasses on for the first time in years.
Leona left a gift in her will to benefit cancer care and eye care. It has been used to support the purchase of additional scanners in the Community Diagnostic Centre, as well as additional OCT devices for use in the N&N, Central Norwich and Cromer Allies Eye Clinics.
Leona's legacy gift will enhance care for her local community for many years, and we thank her for her generosity.
Florence Bradley
Florence Bradley (known as Babs) was born in Bedfordshire in 1926, but moved to Norfolk with her second husband in 1986.
Florence loved Norfolk, and her nephew Martin says 'that is where her heart stayed'
Florence was still active in her 90s. She had a fall from a bus at 92 and broke her hip, but recovered well. Following a second fall she suffered complications, and passed away in hospital with Covid-19.
Florence decided to leave her whole estate to the two local hospitals that had looked after her during her time in Norfolk, and we are so grateful to her for her generosity.
Florence's nephew told us that her family were so proud of her decision to support the 'amazing NHS', and that 'It could not have been a better choice'.
Florence's generous gift helped fund the surgical equipment and artwork for the Norfolk & Norwich Orthopaedic Centre, opened in 2024. Her gift means that patients waiting for orthopaedic surgery will no longer have delays due to emergency cases or in the event of another pandemic.
We are very grateful to Florence for her gift.
