Richard House Children’s Hospice and a number of local solicitors have joined together to offer residents the chance to have a standard Will written free of charge.
This initiative is part of Richard House’s ‘Make a Will Week.’ The next one will run from 25 to 29 October 2010.
Approximately 70% of people in the UK die without making a valid Will!
Making a Will ensures that your family and friends are looked after. Including a percentage or a set amount to Richard House will ensure that local children with life-threatening conditions or complex health care needs such as severe cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury and cancer are looked after in years to come.
There is no obligation to include Richard House in your Will, but leaving a legacy is a beautiful way to continue supporting something you care deeply about.
“I wished to make a more significant gesture and I have named Richard House as a beneficiary under the terms of my Will. In this way I feel I have played a small but more meaningful part in supporting such a worthy cause. Whilst I hope you do not benefit for some years yet, I felt you ought to know of my action!”

Instead of paying the solicitor fees, we do ask for a set-up donation as a gesture of goodwill (£50/single Will, £100/double Will).
