How writing your Will could help the Hospice Ria Simons, Fundraiser at St Richard’s, said: “We hope our campaign month will encourage people to take the first step and write their Will. A month-long Will writing campaign led by St Richard’s Hospice is set to return this September. Write a Will month will see solicitors’ firms offer to write single Wills for £95 each and £150 for a double, with 100 per cent of the money donated to the hospice. The firms involved are Kitcat & Co Solicitors, Malvern, Harrison Clark Rickerbys, Worcester, Bradley Haynes Law, Worcester, and WLS Solicitors, Malvern. WLS Solicitors will have appointments available in the Malvern, Evesham and Pershore areas.
