Saint Catherine’s Hospice launches Make a Will Week across Yorkshire coast

Make a Will Week 2023 is happening from Monday April 17 to Friday April 21.

Participating solicitors have kindly offered their time for free and will draw up a single will for a suggested minimum donation of £200 or £350 for a matching pair.

The event has raised tens of thousands of pounds over the years for patient care.

Beth Worthy, associate solicitor at Crombie Wilkinson Solicitors, said: “I have taken part in the Make a Will scheme for several years as it’s a charity that means a lot to me personally.

“I am very grateful for the care and support Saint Catherine provides and feel proud to fundraise for such a wonderful charity, along with many of my colleagues who have taken part in and supported the scheme over the years.”

Susan Stephenson, communications and marketing manager at Saint Catherine’s, said: “A huge thank you to everyone who is taking part in Make a Will Week this year.

“It is an important date in our fundraising calendar and raises much-needed funds each year for patient care, which truly is appreciated. A special thank you to Thorpe & Co for sponsoring our information leaflet for this year’s event.”
