Leave a Legacy

Leaving a legacy gift to Chalice Well in your will, small or substantial, helps us to look after the historic Well, gardens and buildings, including the Retreat House, to be able to keep on welcoming pilgrims and visitors now and for future generations. 

There are a number of ways to create bequests and/or add codicils to an existing will to leave a gift to Chalice Well. We recommend contacting your professional advisor to make sure your will is exactly as you would wish it.

Please do contact us if you would like to discuss legacy gifts with us on 01458 831154, or email us info@chalicewell.org.uk

Cash sums are influenced by inflation and recessions. An alternative to this is to leave a residuary gift (a share of what’s left over, once everything is paid and wishes carried out).

A Promise from the Heart

Leaving a gift in your will is a deeply personal choice—one that speaks from the soul. If you are considering remembering Chalice Well in this special way, please know that we honour your intentions with great care and respect.

Here is our heartfelt promise to you:

  • We understand that those closest to you come first. We will always treat you and your loved ones with kindness, understanding, and reverence.
  • This decision is yours alone. We will never place you under pressure—only offer support, should you wish it.
  • Whether you choose to share your intentions with us or keep them private, your wishes will be respected in full.
  • Should your gift involve property, special items, or be for a particular purpose, we promise to be open and honest about what is possible and how your offering might best serve the spirit of Chalice Well.
  • Your gift will be cherished and used with care, in alignment with your wishes, to nurture and protect this sacred place for generations to come.
  • Any details you share with us will be held in the utmost confidence, with your trust and privacy as our guide.
  • You are always free to change your mind. Circumstances change, and we understand—your wellbeing and peace of heart are what matter most.
  • If you would like to talk, we would be honoured to listen and to share how your legacy might help sustain the sanctuary and serenity of Chalice Well into the future.
