Hospice raises thousands with help of solicitors

WESTON Hospicecare's first Make Your Will Week event has been declared a resounding success, with more than £6,500 raised by some of Weston's leading solicitors.

The week was supported by Berry Redmond and Robinson, John Hodge Solicitors, Powells with Chawner Grey and Wards who, between them, wrote wills for more than 70 people, free of charge, in exchange for donations to the hospice.

Sally Davis, from Weston Hospicecare said: "We are incredibly grateful to all the solicitors who generously gave their time and expertise to support Make Your Will Week and to those people who took the opportunity to make their wills and made donations.

"The amount raised is enough to run the whole of our day hospice for more than a week which is a fantastic achievement. The week was so successful that we hope to make it an annual event."
