A charity fund to upgrade the Chemotherapy Unit at Walsall Manor Hospital has received a huge boost thanks to Make a Will Fortnight.

Solicitors Enoch Evans, based in Walsall, chose to support Walsall Healthcare’s Well Wishers charity again this year and raised £1,225 as part of the fundraising drive which ran from 6-17 November 2023.

Georgie Westley, Fundraising Manager at Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust, said: “We are so grateful to Enoch Evans and the support they give us for our annual Make A Will Fortnight partnership.

“It has been running for a few years now and it is a very successful and valued campaign. 

“The money will go towards upgrading our Chemotherapy treatment room and refurbishing the unit’s reception area.

“It will make a huge difference to our staff and patients so thank you so much for supporting us.”

Richard Neea, Partner and Head of Department at Enoch Evans, added: “‘Enoch Evans Solicitors are very proud to be able to help the Well Wishers charity.

“To have been able to collaborate with the team successfully over several years is fantastic and being able to support the Manor Hospital and its community services, which aids our wider Walsall community, is a real privilege.”

“In the past we raised money to refurbish a sensory room in the community for children with complex needs and disabilities and funded virtual reality headsets for young adults.

“We were able to see exactly how the funds had been spent which is why we think it’s important to work with a local charity that is making such a positive impact.”
