After her mum died at the Hospice, Kate decided to donate her finance and business skills by stepping into a volunteer Trustee role at the charity. After a few years Kate took on the employed role of Director of Finance and Strategy before becoming Chief Finance and Operating Officer, and now as Co-Chief Executive of St Helena, she shares her motivation for supporting Gift in Wills.

I walked around the Hospice on the anniversary of my mum's death feeling so honoured to be a part of this organisation and it felt very fitting to see the first snowdrops of the year blooming against a backdrop of blue sky. 

Seeing the care my mum received and knowing how determined and hard everyone works, it was an easy decision to leave a gift in my Will. You never know if you or your family will need the service in the future.

I whole heartedly believe that the years ahead are going to be a positive and exciting time for St Helena. 

We will absolutely regrow our clinical services, we will continue to deliver exceptional care to our community, and we will provide job security for everyone that works here. I'm proud to work alongside the St Helena team.
