Good Care Month: Celebrating Care – and Why Planning Ahead Matters

This July marks Good Care Month, a nationwide campaign that shines a light on the compassion, resilience, and skill of everyone working in the social care sector. From frontline carers to admin staff and drivers, it’s a time to celebrate the dedicated individuals who help improve lives every day.

At Aston Bond, we want to join in recognising the vital work of care professionals — but also take this moment to reflect on the deeper message at the heart of Good Care Month: the value of planning for the future.

Just as carers provide security and peace of mind to those they look after, making a will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and give them clarity and support in the future.

How making a will shows care for those you leave behind

Many of us put off making a will, thinking it’s something for much later in life. But Good Care Month reminds us how important it is to plan ahead — not just for ourselves, but for the people who matter to us most.

Having a will ensures that:

Your wishes are clear and legally binding.

Your family and friends are spared unnecessary stress or disputes at an already difficult time.

You can provide for vulnerable loved ones, including those who might need additional care.

You choose how your estate is distributed, rather than leaving it to be decided by law.

At Aston Bond, we’re here to help

Our experienced team at Aston Bond understands that making a will can feel daunting. That’s why we work with you to make the process as straightforward and reassuring as possible. Just as those in the care sector offer their support with kindness and professionalism, we are committed to doing the same when it comes to securing your legacy.

So, as we celebrate Good Care Month, why not take the opportunity to show your own care and consideration — by ensuring your affairs are in order and your loved ones are protected?

If you’d like to talk to us about making or updating your will, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Let’s honour the spirit of Good Care Month by planning ahead — because true care is about looking after one another, today and tomorrow.
