Doncaster residents invited to draft wills and support St John’s Hospice

A new partnership between St John’s Hospice and Ison Harrison Solicitors offers local people aged 55 and over professional will drafting in exchange for charitable donations.

Doncaster residents are being offered the opportunity to draft or update their will free of legal fees this December by supporting St John’s Hospice.
Under the new Free Wills Month initiative, South Parade law firm Ison Harrison has teamed up with the charity to prepare professionally drafted wills in return for a donation to the hospice.
Initially open to people aged 55 and over, appointments are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Demand may prompt a review of the age criteria. Clients face no obligation to include a gift to the hospice, with the only direct charge payable to Ison Harrison being £12.50 plus VAT per person for mandatory identity checks.
Jenny Baynham, Fundraising Manager, said: “Making a Will is one of the most important things we can do to protect the people we care about.
“This initiative offers local people peace of mind while helping us continue to provide outstanding care and support for patients and families across our communities. We’re incredibly grateful to Ison Harrison for their support.”
The hospice, which is part of Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust, delivers specialist palliative and end-of-life care across Doncaster and the surrounding area. It relies on charitable donations to fund enhancements to facilities, patient care and services.
Solicitors will be available to answer questions at the St John’s Hospice Coffee Morning on Friday, November 27, between 10am and 1pm.
