Many people will be familiar with the name of my lifelong friend, Group Captain Lord Chesire, the wartime piot who thereafter devoted his life to the service of disabled people.
Lord Chesire died in1992, but his legacy lives on. There are now140 UK services, creating oppurtunities with more than 10,000 disabled people.
The law soceity is running 'Make a Will Week" starting on 22nd March. To coincide with the week, the Leonard Chesire charity has produced a common-sense guide, 'For Dear Life', to making or changing your will.
Make a Will Week is an ideal oppurtunity to do what you may have been putting off for a while - making or changing your will and including a gift to charity for the future.
Legacies are crucial to the work Leonard Chesire. They enable us to build on Lord Chesire's legacy by enabling disabled people to live their lives as they choose. Our 'For Dear Life' guide explains, in simple language, why you should make a will. It also explains confusing legal terms and provides a checklist with pointers to help you save money in the process.
If readers of your paper would like a copy of 'For Dear Life', please write to the legacy department at Leonard Chesire, 30 Millbank, London, SW1P 2QN who will be happy to send you one.
