We Hear You charity partners with Goodwills Legal Services to offer will-writing in Wiltshire, donating fees to support cancer patients.

We Hear You (WHY) is partnering with Goodwills Legal Services Ltd to offer a will-writing service across Wiltshire as part of a fundraising campaign. Through the scheme, the full amount paid for a basic will can be donated to WHY, which provides free and low-cost counselling for people of all ages who have been affected or bereaved by cancer or other life-threatening conditions.

A standard single will costs £118 per person. Previous campaigns have raised more than £10,000 for WHY.

Michael Rhodes, Goodwills Senior Consultant for Frome, Bath, Somerset and Wiltshire, said the partnership allows local people to 'gain peace of mind while also helping We Hear You continue its life-changing work'. He added that both organisations believe in offering 'an individual, caring and professional service'.

The charity said the partnership not only helps to raise funds but also supports its mission to ensure no one faces these challenges alone. Jilly Edwards, partnerships fundraiser at WHY, said the charity provides emotional support to anyone affected or bereaved by cancer or other life-threatening conditions across Somerset, Bath & North East Somerset, and Wiltshire.

Making a will is described as 'an important step in protecting the people and causes you care about', according to Rhodes.
