Hospitals to host charity will-writing offer

A charity returns to month.

Ten legal firms across Somerset, Wiltshire and Bath, including Mogers Drewett Solicitors in Wells, are taking part and their fees will be donated to the Royal United Hospitals Bath’s fundraising charity, The Forever Friends Appeal.

The scheme will help people make or update their will at a reduced cost. You can now book your appointment to have your will written with participating solicitors firms.

Appeal, said: “It may come as a surprise that fewer than half of the population have an up-to-date will, despite its importance in offering you peace of mind and security for both you and your family.

“Often having a will written can be expensive, therefore, we’d like to urge people to take advantage of this will writing offer at the reduced rates to ensure your savings and possessions go to the people and causes you love.”

This is the sixth consecutive year that RUH Will Month has run with substantial funds being raised every year for various projects across the hospital such as the Dyson Cancer Centre, research projects and specialist medical equipment.

Kat King, chartered legal executive at Mogers Drewett in Wells, said: “Forever Friends is an amazing charity and we’re proud to support them and hopefully raise £50,000 to buy the equipment that will undoubtedly make a real difference to those that need it. If 2020’s taught us anything it’s the importance of people coming together to help and support each other.”
