Thank you!

For two weeks, from 2 to 13 October 2023, local solicitors and will writers waived their fees to write or amend a basic will, asking for donations to be made to Katharine House instead.

We are extremely grateful to all the solicitors listed below for their generous support during Make a Will Fortnight 2023. Thank you also for those who took part in the scheme and donated to the hospice.

The funds raised help Katharine House to continue to provide specialist and compassionate care for those living with life-limiting and incurable illnesses. Thank you for helping to make every moment matter for our patients and their loved ones.

“I had kept putting off updating my will, but when I saw I could do this through a professional solicitor while supporting Katharine House, it seemed the perfect time. The process was straightforward and involved two visits to a local solicitor who had waived her fees in return for a gift to the hospice. It was all sorted out in a couple of weeks – now I can get on with life knowing my wishes will be taken care of in the future.”  Sarah
