MAKE A WILL WEEK
Introducing Rowcroft Hospice’s Make a Will Week
Devon every year. The hospice’s services, which also support the families and carers of patients, are provided by teams of specialist health and social care professionals as well as trained volunteers. About Make a Will Week Making a Will is important for you and your family, bringing the peace of mind and knowledge that whatever the future might bring, your loved ones are financially protected. However, despite the benefits, research has shown that only 27% of 16-54 year olds have a Will and last year alone, £8m went to the government because of this. Rowcroft Hospice is now giving you the chance to update or make your first Will at the same time as making a vital donation to its services. “Although Rowcroft’s services are provided free of charge to patients and their families, it is not free to provide. It is funded in the main thanks to donations and gifts in Wills,” explains Jill Stevens, Head of Supporter Development at the hospice. She adds, “Last year we managed to raise just over £26,000 for Rowcroft during our Make a Will Week campaign and are so grateful for the support of the local community.” To make a Will as part of the campaign, you simply need to

make an appointment with one of the 16 participating firms across South Devon. During your appointment you will be asked to provide the information necessary for the firm to write your Will and also to make your donation to Rowcroft, either £100 for one Will or £150 for a pair of mirror Wills. More complicated needs can be discussed with your chosen solicitor. All donations go directly to Rowcroft. Christopher Linton, a solicitor at Wollen Michelmore, says, “Making a Will can be a daunting prospect but the effect it can have makes it all worthwhile. It can enable you to support local charities like Rowcroft, together with supporting your family and ensuring their financial security. Without a Will there is no way to ensure that your wishes are fulfilled, particularly if you want to support a charity.” Sue Dayment, Partner Solicitor at Scott Richards, added, “Some jobs are worth doing properly. Making a Will with a Solicitor will give peace of mind to your loved ones at what can be a distressing time. Scott Richards is proud to continue to support Rowcroft’s Make a Will Week by raising funds and awareness, while at the same time encouraging people
to make a Will.” Making a Will ensures that your family’s future is secure and by
making or updating your Will during Rowcroft Hospice’s Make a Will Week you’ll also be helping to secure the future of Rowcroft’s vital work. For more information on how Rowcroft can help you and your family, visit
