Saint Catherine’s launches Make a Will Week 2023

Did you know that around three in five adults in the UK don’t have a will?

If you’ve not yet made a will, you could get one drawn up and help Saint Catherine’s at the same time.

Make a Will Week 2023 is happening from April 17 to April 21 – and solicitors are already taking bookings.

Participating solicitors have kindly offered their time for free and will draw up a single will for a suggested minimum donation of £200 or £350 for a matching pair. The event has raised tens of thousands of pounds over the years for patient care.

Beth Worthy, associate solicitor at Crombie Wilkinson Solicitors, said: “I have taken part in the Make a Will scheme for several years as it’s a charity that means a lot to me personally.  I am very grateful for the care and support Saint Catherine provides and feel proud to fundraise for such a wonderful charity, along with many of my colleagues who have taken part in and supported the scheme over the years.”

Susan Stephenson, communications and marketing manager at Saint Catherine’s, said: “A huge thank to everyone who is taking part in Make a Will Week this year. It is an important date in our fundraising calendar and raises much-needed funds each year for patient care, which truly is appreciated. A special thank you to Thorpe & Co for sponsoring our information leaflet for this year’s event.”

You can book in to speak to someone in Scarborough, Hunmanby, Filey, Whitby, Malton, Pickering, Bridlington or Driffield. The appointment must fall between April 17-21.

Please mention Saint Catherine’s Make a Will Week at the time of making your appointment.
