October is Free Wills Month!

by
Dear all,

Below is some information on Will Month, if you wish to discuss things further then please do get in touch – we can’t offer advice but we can be a sounding board and it is confidential.  Call us on our mobile’s or leave a message on the answer machine 0113 243 0298: any one of us can help, warm regards Lisa, John and Valerie

Free Wills Month October 2020 is now live!

Some of the UK’s favourite charities have come together to sponsor Free Wills Month October 2020; giving you the chance to write or update your Will for FREE!

The solicitors have all taken steps to help keep you safe from coronavirus.

You could choose to help these fantastic charities continue to care for the sick and vulnerable, fund ground-breaking research and provide a wide range of vital public services by leaving a gift in your Will to one or more of the sponsoring charities. A gift in your Will costs nothing in your lifetime but your legacy can make a difference for generations to come.
What will your Legacy be?

Taking part in the campaign is simple:

  • Visit freewillsmonth.org.uk, enter your details and follow the instructions to select a convenient solicitor from the list provided.
  • Call the solicitor directly to make your appointment and remember to quote Free Wills Month.
  • Have your Will written in the standard way.

To make the Will writing process quicker, please take advantage of the free Will planner provided at freewillsmonth.org.uk. Complete the form and take it to your appointment for the solicitor’s attention.

The charities are paying for a limited number of Wills so all appointments are booked on a first come first served basis.

The beauty of leaving a legacy gift is that it costs you nothing now. You might be surprised how far a gift in your Will can go, even a small percentage of your estate could make a big difference.

Free Wills Month aims to cover all locations across the UK each year. If there are no participating solicitors in your area during October 2020, we may be in your area in the next campaign due March 2021.

There is no obligation to leave a gift in your Will when taking part in Free Wills Month. The campaign is intended for people aged 55 and over.

International Day of Older People (IDOP) is today and is celebrated annually in Leeds

by

“This year’s theme is Age Proud: time to feel good about ageing

This theme is about celebrating ageing and challenging the perception of older age and turning the perceived negatives into positives. It is about raising awareness of the diversity of activity for older people adults across Leeds and supporting the ambition for Leeds to be the Best City to Grow Old In”

COVID-19 has really affected everyone and feeling good about ageing can be harder to imagine as it has had a huge detrimental impact on our wellbeing due to lockdown and shielding. It does feel more important than ever in light of this that we continue to celebrate IDOP in whatever ways we can that are safe and practical. As we didn’t know what the situation was going to be due to COVID-19 in October we looked at offering an online option this time in place of our usual celebrations and gathering together.Last year a large group of us were at the Vue Cinema in Leeds followed by a cuppa and discussion about the film and others we would like to watch.

For safety reasons we have not been able to host another film afternoon in person this year, yet we have been able to resume them online. The last one went well, so for October we have another film evening planned that includes sharing our early evening meal together (virtually) from the comfort of your own home. It is a secret cinema yet we hope you will enjoy the choice (from one of our members), and if not you we would love your suggestions for further film evenings. And there may be a treat delivered beforehand if you let us know you are joining us.

Early Evening Meal and Film (Virtually)  – Wednesday 7th October 2020 @ 5pm

Please email: lisa@caringtogether.org.uk or call on 07436 530073 if you wish to discuss/ or join us.

ps. If you don’t have zoom I can go through this with you, we may also be able to supply some devices for you if lacking IT devices is a problem (limited numbers on these). We are not the experts and tend to help and share our knowledge with each other and as such we do the best we can given the situation.
