A local charity has raised nearly £20,000 through 89 Will writing appointments, donations and Gift Aid contributions.

2026 Make A Will Week saw 11 individuals pledge to leave a gift in their Will to Myton Hopice Warwick and Leamington, a charity dedicated to supporting people living with a wide range of terminal illnesses, and their families, from the point of diagnosis to end of life.

A total of £18,345 was raised during this year's 'Make a Will Week.

According to the charity, gifts in Wills fund the care of one in four patients so "by leaving Myton a gift in your Will you are helping to fund our vital work and leaving a lasting legacy."

Danni Mooney, Individual Giving Manager at The Myton Hospices, shared: "We are deeply grateful to everyone who participated in Make a Will Week and to the local solicitors who generously gave their time to support this campaign.

"The funds raised will make a significant impact in enabling us to continue providing free care to those living with life-limiting illnesses and their families across Coventry and Warwickshire."

The charity also thanks all of the solicitors involved in this year's Make a Will Week including: Alsters Kelley Solicitors Limited, Angels Solicitors LLP, Askews Legal LLP, Belvedere Wills & Estate Planning, Blythe Liggins Solicitors, Brindley Twist Tafft and James Solicitors, Hammons Solicitors, Johns Gilbert & Frankton LLP, Mander Hadley Solicitors, Penmans Solicitors LLP, Seymours Solicitors, Ward & Rider Solicitors, and Willsons Solicitors.
