Beaumond House partners with local solicitors to offer free Wills

Beaumond House Hospice Care supporters can make or update a Will for free as part of its Legacy Campaign.

Newark-based palliative care charity, Beaumond House Hospice Care, has partnered with five local solicitors to offer its supporters the opportunity to make or update a Will for free.

The offer is part of the charity’s year-long Legacy Campaign, which aims to raise awareness of the importance of gifts in Wills to the survival of Beaumond House.

Supporters are able to make face-to-face appointments with solicitors from Ringrose Law, Clare Newton Solicitor, APT Legal, Tallents Solicitors and Bird & Co Solicitors.

Here, they will be supported to either make a new Will or amend an existing one.

The campaign has also seen the charity host several roadshows throughout October, giving people the chance to learn about the positive impact of leaving a gift in a Will and how it allows the charity to continue its work supporting the local community.

Andrea Ward, Individual Giving Fundraising Manager at Beaumond House Hospice Care, said:

“Leaving a gift in a Will is a powerful way to make your wishes known, giving you the peace of mind that the people and causes that matter to you will be looked after in the way you choose.

“We understand that when making a Will, the needs of your family and loved ones will always come first. However, once you’ve looked after those closest to you, leaving a gift to Beaumond House will help us to be here for future generations.

“It costs around £2.2 million for us to deliver our services every year and around £1.6 million of this must be raised through things like donations, shops and local businesses. Gifts in Wills are extremely valuable to us and last year, one in four of our patients were cared for thanks to these kinds of donations.

“We’re so grateful to Ringrose Law, Clare Newton Solicitor, APT Legal, Tallents Solicitors and Bird & Co Solicitors for their support, and have loved meeting lots of people on our roadshows this month.”
