The ever-popular RUH Will Month is returning in November to help the public make or update their Will at a reduced cost.

Ten legal firms across Somerset, Bath and Wiltshire are taking part and their fees will be donated to the Royal United Hospitals Bath’s fundraising charity, The Forever Friends Appeal, including Goodwills Legal Services Ltd, who have offices in Radstock and Frome.

RUH Will Month will run for one month only, helping people put their affairs in order by having a single standard Will written for £125 or a standard Mirror Wills or joint Wills written for £175.

Often having a Will written can be expensive, therefore, we would like to urge people to take advantage of this Will writing offer at the reduced rates to ensure your savings and possessions go to the people and causes you love and care for.

This year, funds raised by the initiative will be put towards the charity’s Speech and Language Special Appeal. The Appeal is raising £50,000 to purchase a portable machine to enhance the care given to patients who have swallowing difficulties. The equipment will enable speech and language therapists to provide an alternative bedside assessment.

The need for the mobile equipment has become even more pressing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Patients who have been on a ventilator have a 30% chance of suffering from swallowing difficulties. So, having this machine will really help the speech and language therapy team.

Contact one of the participating solicitor firms as soon as possible as appointments get fully booked quickly. The full list of solicitors can be found on The Forever Friends Appeal website: forever friendsappeal.co.uk
