Hospice announces Make a Will Week

A leading hospice is running Make a Will Week from October 17th to the 21st in order to highlight the importance of writing a will.

The Myton Hospices is using this opportunity to highlight the importance of making or updating one's will and aims to raise money for its services at the same time.

Kate Lee, the chief executive of the charity, told the Coventry Telegraph that this year's event should be bigger and better than ever before.

She said: "Since I've worked here, I've seen the complications and problems not having a will can cause families. you might have to have a couple of difficult conversations but in the long run it's worth it."

Ms Lee said that she will be making a will herself during this year's event in order to bring security for her family.

Earlier this month, the Elmbridge Guardian reported that Britain's oldest stuntman has broken a world record to raise awareness of the importance of writing a will.
