Laura Eastwood, Director of Fundraising at Oakhaven Hospice, said, “Write a Will Month is a great opportunity to make or change your will, whilst supporting Oakhaven with a donation. We would like to thank the local solicitors and estate planners who have generously agreed to be a part of our annual will-writing initiative, giving their time and waiving their usual fee so that Oakhaven can benefit from donations. Every donation directly supports the funding of your local hospice, enabling our specialist teams to provide vital palliative and end-of-life care, free of charge to patients, and support for their loved ones. Right now, we are caring for over 450 patients at any one time, in the hospice and in patients’ homes throughout the New Forest, Totton and Waterside - and demand for our services is growing. Meanwhile, just 11% of Oakhaven’s funding is covered by the government. For the remaining 89% we rely on the generosity of our community’s donations, fundraising, gifts in wills and income generated by our shops and our home care provider, Oakhaven Care. Your Write a Will Month donations will make a real difference and help you to keep your will and wishes up to date.” For more information, please visit: www.oakhavenhospice. co.uk/write-a-will, or contact the Fundraising Team directly on: 01590 677773 or fundraising@oakhavenhospice.co.uk Oakhaven nurses in the garden
