This October, we are asking the Calderdale community to secure the future of their loved ones and their Hospice with Make a Will Month.
We have has partnered up with several local solicitors to ensure that the community has that all-important peace of mind by making a will. The partnered solicitors have kindly donated their time, meaning that participants will save money whilst supporting patients. In return, participants are encouraged to make the suggested minimum donation to the Hospice at the time of their appointment.
The donations will go towards funding our specialist, compassionate care for patients and families. From the many therapies which are so important in symptom control and pain relief, to counselling sessions for patients and families and all other the ways our wonderful staff care for people during the most difficult time of their lives.
Louise Iredale, Corporate Fundraiser at Overgate Hospice, said: “It is vitally important that we have plans in place for when our time comes. Knowing that your wishes are in place and your loved ones are protected is one of the few things that can help make difficult times easier to navigate. Our fantastic partners will be there every step of the way, making it a hassle-free experience.”
Suzanne Benn, Overgate’s Business Partnership Manager, said: “We are so grateful to all of the solicitors that have partnered with the Hospice for Make a Will Month. It is so incredibly generous of them to donate their time and expertise; their support for the Hospice and the community is truly wonderful.”
Jodie Wielgus, Partner at Ramsdens Solicitors, said: “We are proud to support Overgate Hospice, who provide invaluable services to our local community and this year, we will be again supporting their ‘Make a Will Month’. Throughout October, we will be offering a free wills service to people who make a voluntary donation to the Hospice, so helping the local community protect their assets and increasing the Hospice’s fundraising to enable them to continue to provide their important service. “
Appointments are still available, please visit the Overgate Hospice website for more information.
