A FREE will writing service is set to fund more cancer nurses for Halton patients.

Gladstones Solicitors has offered to waive their fees throughout 2013 to encourage clients tomake a voluntary donation of £50 to Macmillan Cancer Support.

The charity is currently funding £1.36 million worth of cancer services across Cheshire, including several Macmillan Cancer nurse specialists at Halton Hospital.

Sarah Page from Macmillan said: “We are extremely grateful to Gladstones Solicitors for supporting Macmillan through this initiative.

“Whether people choose to donate now, in their wills or both, their support is vital to ensuring that more services will be available to future generations of people affected by cancer in Cheshire.”

Some 97% of Macmillan’s funding comes from voluntary donations, a third of which is from gifts in wills.

Solicitor Frances Bennett, said: “Gladstones Solicitors are very proud to volunteer our legal expertise to help Macmillan Cancer Support.”
