“For the first time since our loss, we felt we were surrounded by people who were there to listen to our story."

Wills Weeks

Since 2003, St Nicholas Hospice Care’s Wills Weeks have ensured that many in our community have been able to have a Will prepared to protect their loved ones, while raising more than £300,000 for the charity.

Our 18th annual Wills Weeks event offers our community the chance to make a Will in return for a donation to St Nicholas Hospice Care instead of paying a fee to a legal adviser.
