Wills Week for HospiceCare in Berwick
 

During national Hospice UK Dying Matters Week from 4th to 10th May we are delighted to be supported by local solicitors, Sanderson McCreath & Edney of Berwick. They are again opening their doors to support HospiceCare North Northumberland with a Will Writing Week in May 2026. 

​

They are very generously donating their time and will writing services for people wishing to make a will and donating their fees to HospiceCare North Northumberland. The fee is £280 for a single will and £475 for a pair of wills.
 

Hospice Care is more than you think...

Each year, community nursing teams and volunteers make 1.4 million visits to help people at the end of their lives live well in the community, delivering care closer to home, keeping people out of hospital who do not need to be there – and letting many people be where they want to be, in the place they love most: their own home.

 

In 2024-25 generalist palliative care nurses, healthcare assistants, social workers and carers from hospices made 780,00 home visits. And specialist palliative care doctors and nurses from hospices made 620,000 home visits*.

​

These services could – and should – be growing and expanding to meet the rising demand of our ageing population. But in actual fact, they are shrinking. Many hospices are on the brink, with surging costs leading to many services being cut back.

 

“Hospice Care eases the physical and emotional pain of death and dying. Letting people focus on living, right until the end.”
