Ipswich law firm raises thousands of pounds for Will Aid charity
A property law firm in Suffolk has raised thousands for a national charity, making it one of the top donating firms in the UK.
Attwells Solicitors, based in Ipswich, have taken part in Will Aid, which is the UK’s leading charity will-writing scheme.
It offers people the opportunity to make or update their Will in return for a donation, to help people in need in the UK and all over the world.
As part of the Will Aid campaign, Attwells Solicitors drew up basic wills for local people without charging their usual fee. In return for this service, clients made a donation to Will Aid and Attwells have raised a staggering £4,380 in total.
As a result of Attwells fundraising, they will be hosting a presentation event in partnership with Will Aid, where they will be presented with an achievement certificate by a charity representative as a thank you for their efforts.
Laura Harrington-Rutterford, partner at Attwells, said: “We are thrilled by just how much we have managed to raise for Will Aid, it’s fantastic to know that we are amongst the top donating firms in the country.
