Festive Greetings 2018

Festive Season Greetings from HCB Group

We have decided not to send Christmas Cards this year, and instead will be making a donation to our nominated charity, Legacare (www.legacare.org).

We wish all our clients, friends, and their families warm greetings for the festive season, and a peaceful and prosperous 2019

About Legacare - 'Transforming justice for the vulnerable'

None of us really want to consider the possibility that we'll suffer a serious illness.  But if you ever do think about it, you probably think about doctors, nurses, carers, and of course your family.   What might never cross your mind is that you may also need legal help, but once you start thinking about it (your job, who will look after your children, paying your mortgage or rent, insurance claims, pension entitlement, debt, wills and lasting powers of attorney) you'll realise that for many patients suffering with terminal or life threatening illnesses they have a legal minefield to deal with, on top of everything else.

Enter Legacare.  The charity was set up in 2011 and it aims to provide specialist professional legal advice quickly, sensitively and and at the patient's preferred place for assistance, normally at home, hospital or hospice.  The service is free to anybody who has an income of £30,000 or saving of £30,000 or less.  However, we are delighted to help patients who may not qualify on financial grounds, in return for a donation which can be agreed at the first meeting (which is free in any event).
