Local solicitors partner with Pilgrims Hospices for Make a Will Month 2024

This April, the people of east Kent are invited to participate in Make a Will Month 2024, a charitable initiative led by Pilgrims Hospices, in collaboration with local solicitor firms. During this month-long event, participating solicitors will generously donate their time and expertise to write and review Wills, waiving their usual fee in exchange for donations to Pilgrims Hospices.

For over a decade, Pilgrims Hospices has provided invaluable support to the local community by offering the opportunity for individuals to ensure their affairs are in order and their wishes are fulfilled through the Make a Will Month initiative. Since its inception, the scheme has raised an impressive £200,000 and assisted over 1000 people in east Kent.

In preparation for this year’s Make a Will Month, participating solicitors were invited to the Thanet Hospice Therapy Centre in February. During the gathering, they had the opportunity to learn more about the vital care provided by Pilgrims Hospices and discuss the upcoming scheme over breakfast. Ellie Cane, Individual Giving Manager, expressed gratitude to the solicitor firms for their continued partnership, emphasising the significant impact their support has on patients and their loved ones.

The following solicitor firms are generously participating in Make a Will Month 2024:

  • Boys & Maughan
  • Girlings Solicitors
  • Pengelly & Rylands
  • Prospero Solicitors
  • Stilwell & Singleton
  • Whitehead Monckton

Appointments for Make a Will Month 2024 are now available and can be booked directly with your preferred solicitor. For more information on the participating solicitors and their contact details, as well as suggested donation amounts, please click here.
