Parfitt Cresswell Solicitors to Support Alexander Devine During Write Your Will Week

This October, expert law firm, Parfitt Cresswell Solicitors is supporting Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service with a Write Your Will Week to raise vital funds for the local charity.
Between Wednesday 22nd October and Friday 24th October, Parfitt Cresswell Solicitors are offering people the chance to write a new or replacement Will in exchange for a suggested donation to Alexander Devine, which supports local children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions and their families.
Parfitt Cresswell is generously offering up to 10 consultations during the week. The law firm will write a basic Will and ask those who take up the offer to make a suggested donation to Alexander Devine of around £130 for a basic Will, which could help pay for 3 hours of specialist care from an Alexander’s Nurse.
Ashley Burgess-Payne, from Parfitt Cresswell Solicitors, explains how important, yet easy it is to write your Will:
“We are proud to support Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service by offering 10 complimentary basic Wills. Our welcoming and supportive team is dedicated to making your experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible. We understand that speaking with a lawyer can feel daunting, which is why we focus on a client-centered approach – ensuring you feel at ease and encouraged to ask any questions you may have. Creating a Will with our legal experts is straightforward, and we believe in providing you with all the information you need to make the right choices for yourself and your loved ones, both now and for the future. With our guidance, you can rest assured your wishes will be honoured and your loved ones supported, giving you peace of mind that your estate will be managed exactly as you intend.”
Jenni Green, Lead for Trusts and Supporter Engagement at Alexander Devine, thanked Parfitt Cresswell for its support:
“We’re so thrilled that Parfitt Cresswell is supporting us with this Write Your Will Week and we’re very grateful for their generosity. It’s a brilliant opportunity for those who need to write a new or replacement Will to not only get their affairs in order but also make a real difference to local children and families that depend on our vital service. As a charity we rely heavily on the kindness of those across our community. 85% of our income comes from fundraising, donations and gifts in Wills. Every gift made to Alexander Devine, whatever size, can make such a positive difference to those we support.”

The word hospice should not seem scary and getting support from us doesn’t have to mean a child’s death is imminent. Helping to enrich the lives of the children and their families is at the heart of our service, our end of life and bereavement support is just a part of what we do.
Our children’s hospice service covers the whole of Berkshire, South Bucks and into surrounding counties. If you think your child may be eligible for our services, please do get in touch.
