Make a Will this November and help raise more than £1.3 million for charity
Will Aid solicitors all over the UK are ready to use their professional expertise to write basic Wills in November to raise vital funds for charity. To locate a participating solicitor go to: http://www.willaid.org.uk/find
The campaign provides the perfect opportunity for people to put their affairs in order by writing a basic Will with a qualified solicitor and, instead of paying the solicitor’s usual fee, making a donation to Will Aid. The donation income is shared by the nine participating charities, including ActionAid, Age UK, British Red Cross, Christian Aid, NSPCC, Save the Children, SCIAF (Scotland) Sightsavers and Trocaire (Northern Ireland).
Last November, seventeen thousand clients wrote their Will with a Will Aid solicitor and each Will raised nearly £100. As a result, the nine partner charities shared over £1.3 million in donations and in future are likely to receive millions more in legacy income. The campaign hopes to raise even more this November.
As an additional benefit to Will-makers, Will Aid is offering free Will registration with Certainty National Will Register. This service usually costs £28.75 and is an important step to take for those who want to ensure that their Last Will and Testament can be located by legitimate beneficiaries when the time comes.
Find a convenient Will Aid solicitor and make an appointment for November and then donate generously to help Will Aid beat last year’s total. Participating solicitors can be found at http://www.willaid.org.uk/find or by calling the hotline 0300 0300 013.
