IT HAS been a record-breaking year for The Myton Hospices’ Make a Will Week.
It raised £24,469 – the most raised in the campaign’s history.
This was made possible through 129 will-writing appointments, generous donations and Gift Aid contributions.
Eleven people have also pledged to leave a gift in their will to Myton, which has hospices in Warwick, Coventry and Leamington.
Hospice spokesperson Danni Mooney said: “We are deeply grateful to everyone who participated in Make a Will Week and to the local solicitors who generously gave their time to support this campaign. The funds raised will make a significant impact in enabling us to continue providing free care to those living with life-limiting illnesses and their families across Coventry and Warwickshire.”
The Myton Hospices is a charity and just 17 per cent of its funding comes from the NHS. Myton has to raise £12.7 million of the £15.3 million it costs this year to continue providing their services free of charge to patients and their loved ones.
