The impact your gift can make

/media/getinvolved/library/katie-and-vera-cropped.jpg Each year Father Hudson’s Care and our family of charities support over 7,000 people in need to live happier, healthier and safer lives.

We provide 17 different services across the West Midlands, Staffordshire and Oxfordshire, funding a lifeline of essential support through projects including homelessness, older person's care, learning and physical disabilities, fostering and support for asylum seekers and refugees.

We wouldn't be here today were it not for a number of small legacies put together that started our charity back in 1902. And last year, a third of our voluntary income came from legacies. We truly can’t do what we do without them.

A gift in your Will is one of the most precious gifts you could give. Anyone can leave a gift, no matter how large or small, and every donation will help us care for others. Every gift can help change someone’s world.

While we believe everybody should make a Will, what you put into that Will will be personal to you. It is your Will. It may help you ensure your loved ones are provided for in the future. Many people also choose to support a cause that is close to their hearts. People leave set amounts of money or a percentage of their estate, as well as items including houses, cars and shares.

Leaving a gift in your Will to Father Hudson’s Care can transform lives by enabling us to help people overcome barriers, empowering them to live a full and meaningful life of their choosing.

Your special gift could:

Help a disabled person live a fulfilling, more independent life
Provide specialist care to older people living with dementia
Support a homeless person to make a fresh start
Help a family experiencing problems to overcome their difficulties, strengthen their relationships, and rebuild their lives together
Provide foster carers with training and support to nurture the young person in their care
Help an older person maintain links with their community and form new friendships, keeping them healthy, independent and happy
Support a destitute migrant to rebuild their life
Help someone separated from their family of origin to trace their history and connect with their birth relatives
Provide someone living in poverty with food and warm clothing.
