Halton Haven Hospice Legal Clinic

Posted onMarch 27, 2023

Halton Haven Hospice in Runcorn is a charity that is close to our hearts and one that we support. They provide end-of-life care to those in our local community who need it.

We love giving back to our local communities, and there are so many ways to do this, from raising money to volunteering your time.

We are pleased to support Halton Haven Hospice by providing our time and legal expertise. Starting on 31st March 2023, our Private Client team will be onsite the last Friday of every month from 9 am to 12 pm to provide residents, their families, and the local community with free legal advice about Wills, Probate, and Powers of Attorney.

A bit about Halton Haven Hospice

Since 1981, Halton Haven Hospice has been providing specialised palliative care to individuals with terminal illnesses from Halton and neighbouring areas. Their palliative care focuses on supporting patients physically, psychologically, and emotionally to help them maintain their desired quality of life for as long as possible.

The Hospice has a 12-bed In-Patient Unit (IPU) for end-of-life and palliative care, as well as a Day Hospice Clinic that provides treatment, support, assessment, rehabilitation, and therapy for those living with a life-limiting diagnosis. Additionally, their patients, families, and the local community benefit from their Community Cabin, a woodland trail, and extensive gardens.

Support for Halton Haven Hospice:

Although the hospice receives some funding from the NHS, they are an independent charity that relies on donations, fundraising events, its weekly lottery, and legacy contributions from supporters to operate. It is remarkable to note that seven out of every 12 patients are cared for thanks to community donations. Without this support, the hospice wouldn't be able to continue providing care to those who need it.

I could not fault Lily's advice and service during the process of buying a house. As a first time buyer, I had loads of questions, and Lily always got back to me promptly with clear explanations and responses. I also needed to complete within a certain timeframe, and they ensured that this happened and we were not held up at all. I'll definitely be recommending to family and friends.

Holly dealt with my recent case she was very approachable kind and professional kept me informed on a weekly and sometimes daily basis she went above and beyond to help me in what was a difficult time for me personally. I would highly recommend Holly and would definitely use her again if required.

We had a great experience with Lily and Olivia and Bell Lamb and Joynson. It only took 2 months to complete on our house and despite me being a nervous wreck Lily was patient throughout the entire process.

What can I say about Daren Jones, he was so understanding and helpful throughout my case from the start of my case and to the hearing was always on hand when I needed advice. Would definitely recommend Bell, Lamb & Joynson Solicitors.
