Write a Will Month Writing a Will is incredibly important, and is the only legal way you can ensure your loved ones are taken care of and that your final wishes are met. Did you know that more than half of adults in the UK don’t have a Will? It's often one of those things that we put off until later in life, but it is incredibly important and is the only legal way to ensure your final wishes are met and that your loved ones are taken care of. This November, we have partnered with solicitors from across Merseyside and Cheshire who have come together to support our Write a Will Month and have agreed to waive their usual fee, in return for a donation to The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity. When writing a will, we know you will want to take care of your loved ones first and then we hope you may consider leaving a gift in your will to The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity. By taking part in our Write a Will Month, you will be helping us to improve cancer care across our region, for future generations; including your loved ones, if they should ever need us. If you would like to take part in our Write a Will Month you can find one of our partnering solicitors near you by visiting clatterbridgecc.nhs.uk/charity/make-donation/leave-gift- your-will.
