Consent form for adult sharing their story
We publish real-life stories and shorter quotes from Hospice patients, their loved ones, staff and volunteers to help explain our work to the public and encourage them to support us as a charity.
By completing this form, you’re giving us permission to share your story in our communications for two years – thank you. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
I understand the following:
- My story and any photos or videos of me will be stored securely by Willen Hospice.
- These may be used to promote the Hospice in their printed communications (such as fundraising appeals and supporter magazines), online (on their website and social media channels), in advertising or in the press.
- As part of their marketing, Willen Hospice may also pass my story to trusted third parties to use, such as Hospice UK or corporate partner organisations.
- My story will be used accurately and honestly, and never taken out of context.
- If I say anything that indicates I’m not safe, or someone else isn’t safe, Willen Hospice will help me get support.
- By signing, I am confirming that anyone else mentioned in my story, or featured in my photos/videos, knows they are being included and understands these will be published publicly.
- My story will be used for two years and then archived, unless Willen Hospice contact me to arrange otherwise.
- I can withdraw my consent at any point during that time by contacting stories@willen-hospice.org.uk or 01908 306 695, and my story and any photos or videos of me will be removed from circulation wherever possible.

Your donations make all the difference
We need to raise £10.4 million each year to provide our services free of charge.
We’re grateful for every single donation we receive, no matter how big or small. Your kindness means we can continue supporting people in our community during what may be the toughest time of their lives.
could pay for an In-Patient Unit nurse to be on shift for an hour – ready to care for a local person struggling to cope with a life-limiting illness
could pay for our professional counsellors to hold a community bereavement drop-in session, open to anyone who is recently bereaved and needs support
could cover the cost of a Willen at Home nurse visiting a patient, so they’re cared for in the comfort of their own home
