Make a Will. Make a Difference.

This September, local solicitors will write or update your Will in return for a donation to Farleigh Hospice.

Protect the people you love while helping to fund compassionate hospice care across mid Essex.

Write or update your Will this September with a local solicitor and support Farleigh Hospice. Save on fees while making a lasting difference.

Why do I need a Will?

  • A Will gives you control. It ensures your wishes are followed, your loved ones are protected, and your estate is managed exactly as you intend.
  • Without a Will, the law decides who inherits your estate and who cares for any dependent children.
  • Making a Will provides clarity and reassurance for you and those closest to you.

Already have a Will?

Life changes, and your Will should too.

If you’ve moved home, gained assets, married, divorced, had children, or simply haven’t reviewed your Will in the past five years, it’s important to update it.

Make a Will Month is an ideal opportunity to review your plans.

Why write your Will in September?

During Make a Will Month, participating solicitors will prepare or update your Will in exchange for a suggested donation to Farleigh Hospice:

  • £150 for a single Will
  • £175 for mirror Wills

You’ll benefit from a substantial saving on standard legal fees, while helping fund vital hospice care.

Your support makes a difference

Farleigh Hospice provides care for people living with life-limiting illnesses across mid Essex.

Your donation helps us deliver physical, emotional and bereavement support to patients and families, free of charge, when they need it most.

Leave a gift. Shape the future.

After taking care of your loved ones, leaving a gift in your Will to Farleigh Hospice is a powerful way to support future patients.

Gifts in Wills are vital to ensuring we can continue to provide compassionate care, today and for generations to come.
