Bicester Wills

Where there’s a will, there’s a hospice boost

A BICESTER businesswoman is proving that where there’s a will there’s a way to boost the funds of Sobell House Hospice Charity

Gail Church, who runs Bicester Wills and is regional chairman of the Society of Will Writers (SWW), is doing her bit to mark the hospice’s 35^th birthday by donating £35 to the hospice for every will she writes during May and June.

As part of the campaign, Gail is also offering a free guide to will writing and on Friday 20^th May will be on hand at the Sobell Charity shop in

Market Square

, Bicester to talk to people about the importance of having a properly written will.

Gail said: “For 35 years the hospice has helped so many people so this is my small way of giving something back to the hospice. I also hope this will enable me to raise awareness of the importance of people having a will. An alarmingly high number of people are still dying without leaving a will which just adds to the stress and grief of loved ones left behind. Writing a basic will is a reasonably straightforward and relatively inexpensive task if you use a professional will-writer.”

Kath Morris, Head of Fundraising at Sobell House Hospice Charity, said: “We are so reliant on the support of people who help us with our fundraising so I wish Gail every success with her campaign to raise awareness of having a will written and, in the process, generating a much-needed boost to hospice funds.”

If anyone would like a free copy of Gail’s guide to will writing, they can contact her on 0800 9704897.
