That’s why we’ve partnered with Bequeathed and their A Will For Good scheme.
This scheme allows you to write your Will for free with Bequeathed’s in-house legal team, who can support you along your Will writing journey and give you all the information you need.
There is no obligation to include Manchester Foundation Trust Charity in your Will should you use this service, but we do hope you will consider leaving us a gift in your Will. It would mean the world to our patients and families across Manchester.
You could leave a legacy to be proud of.
Penelope’s Legacy
A wartime plea from the staff at our children’s Hospital saved Penelope’s life. Inspired, she would begin a career in nursing right here in Manchester. Penelope was dedicated to caring for poorly children throughout her life, and even in death, through the kind gift in her Will left for Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital. Her daughter, Lady Katharine Bryan, shares her story.

Manchester Foundation Trust Charity in an umbrella charity that supports every hospital and service within our Trust. Therefore, even though the gift in your Will will be paid to our overarching charity, your gift can still be directed to your chosen hospital or area of work. In order to make sure we can fulfil your wishes in years to come, we suggest not restricting your gift any further than hospital or medical area. If you have any questions on how you can best support the area of healthcare that means the most to you, please contact our team on 0161 276 4522.
If you need to pay in a gift from someone else’s estate, then please get in touch with our team on 0161 276 4522 or charity@mft.nhs.uk. Before we receive donations from Wills, it is important we see a copy of the Will or the section of the Will that refers to the gift. This is so we can make sure we are the correct beneficiary and we can allocate the gift in a way that fulfils the wishes as set out in the Will. Once we have checked the details, we will provide our banking details.
If you have any questions on how your clients can support our Charity, please contact our team who will be happy to send you our Charity details and explain how gifts to Manchester Foundation Trust Charity support our family of hospitals.
