Will Making Service Raises £8,000 for Hospice Care
An annual campaign held by Alice House Hospice, in partnership with local solicitors has raised over £8,000 for local care services.
Throughout Make a Will Month, participating solicitors offer a will writing service, whilst waiving their fee in exchange for a set donation to Alice House. This money is used to fund the Hospice’s services, supporting patients and families affected by life-limiting illness or the death of a loved one.
This gives people the opportunity to plan for the future, organise their affairs and donate to the Hospice. Five law firms took part in the 2024 campaign:
- TMJ Legal Services
- Evans & Co Solicitors
- Smith & Graham Solicitors
- Essential Wills
- Freers Askew Bunting
Nicola Winwood, the Hospice’s In Memory Fundraiser, who co-ordinates the project said: “This money has been put to excellent use, providing vital support to local patients and families.
“Collectively, 35 appointments were donated by the participating legal firms, meaning that these families now have their affairs in order and that have helped sustain the care we offer to local families.
Nicola added: “On behalf of the Hospice, thanks go to all who took part in Make a Will Month – this support is so important and these business partnerships are essential to sustaining our services.”
Make a Will Month will re-launch in October 2025 – for further details, contact Nicola on nwinwood@alicehousehospice.co.uk or 01429 855554.
