A gift to Newcastle Hospitals Charity in the form of a legacy is the greatest honour we can receive and in the last financial year, we received approximately £1.8m in legacy donations.
Doreen Watson is just one of those generous individuals who chose to remember us in their will in the last year.
Doreen made a legacy gift of over £176,000 to Newcastle Hospitals in recognition of the care she and her late husband Alan received. Doreen loved the NHS and remembered all the doctors and nurses who looked after her. Her gift is her way of saying thank you to each of them.
Doreen and Alan were married on 31 March 1951. At the time they were married Alan was an Engineer and Doreen was a sales woman. Alan later worked at Newcastle brewery and Doreen worked in the office at Sinclair’s wholesale tobacconists. They were a devoted couple and did everything together. They joined the Northern Opera Society and spent a lot of their spare time with the group. The couple liked to travel extensively and toured counties like India, Egypt, South America and many more.
Sadly, Alan died over 15 years ago and as Doreen got older, she relied heavily on her close friends and neighbours. Doreen passed away in 2018 and is sadly missed by all who knew her.
When Alan was alive, he and Doreen had discussed some of the good causes that they would leave their estate to and Doreen included Newcastle Hospital.
The process of remembering Newcastle Hospitals Charity in a will is straightforward and our charitable status (Charity Number 1057213) could reduce the overall amount of inheritance tax you would be liable to pay.
