Saint Catherine’s Make a Will Week bigger than ever for 2026

The event will take place from June 1 to 14 and is supported as ever by solicitors who kindly give their time for free.

If you've not yet made a will – like around 50% of adults in the UK - you could get one drawn up and help Saint Catherine's at the same time.

Participating will draw up a single will for a suggested minimum donation of £250 or £400 for a matching pair.

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

Susan Stephenson, fundraiser 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.

“We have listened to feedback from both solicitors and our supporters, who asked for a longer window of opportunity for appointments.

"We hope that by going from a week to a fortnight we can help more people than ever.”

You can book in to speak to someone in Scarborough, Filey, Whitby, Malton, Pickering, Bridlington or Driffield.

The appointment must fall between Monday June 1 to Friday June 12 (weekdays only).

Please mention Saint Catherine’s Make a Will Week at the time of making your appointment.
