Welcome!
Woodlands Hospice, based in Liverpool, provides specialist care for local people with life-threatening illnesses.
Care is tailored to meet the needs of the individual and is designed to enhance the quality of life. As a charitable trust, all our services to patients and families are provided free of charge.
Woodlands Hospice is your hospice, - existing entirely for local people and their families.
'Make a Will Week' has been a huge success for the hospice!
We were delighted to have had eight solicitors take part in our first year and to date we have received £2,610 in donations. This is very encouraging for such a new initiative and there are still a number of wills to be concluded with donations outstanding.
We were inundated with telephone calls at the hospice enquiring about the scheme and due to the number of requests for wills a couple of solicitors kindly extended the scheme into a second or third week and one solicitor, Breens of Waterloo, has kindly agreed to run the scheme all throughout the year.
No one likes to think of making a Will but the absence of formal arrangements however can cause a lot of distress to family members at a time when they are already upset. If you missed our 'Make a Will Week' and still have not yet made a will please contact the fundraising department at the hospice on 0151 529 2630 and we will be able to make arrangements for you to do so. Alternatively, if you would like to discuss the scheme in further detail please give us a call.
In conjunction with Breens we are planning to run regular 'will writing surgeries' at the hospice for those wishing to use our 'make a will' scheme. Currently scheduled surgeries include:
- Thursday 24th August 2006
- Thursday 21st September
- Thursday 19th October
- Thursday 23rd November
- Thursday 14th December 2006
Breens will write or amend a standard will and waive their usual fee in turn for the person making a donation to Woodlands Hospice via the solicitor in one of our 'Make a Will' envelopes. By using this scheme you will benefit from peace of mind of having a formal will in place together with the 'feel good' factor that you are also helping a good cause. Additionally, the hospice will benefit through the donations and the solicitor will gain a new client.
Thank you for taking time to visit our web site.
