Will Aid is a yearly fundraising partnership among nine of the UK’s leading charities. Will Aid started in 1988 and since then with the help of the legal profession the charity will-writing campaign has raised over 24 million pounds for worthy causes. Last year with your support Blackwood & Smith raised a total of £5,865 and were named as the 4th highest donating firm to the campaign in the whole of Scotland. Over the years we have taken part Blackwood & Smith and our clients have raised an impressive £32,681 for the Will Aid scheme. As a small firm we are massively proud of our clients and solicitors for raising such significant amounts in support of worthy causes. The Will Aid Campaign has a dual purpose of encouraging people to have their Will drafted by a solicitor whilst at the same time raising money for charity. Our belief in the importance of both of these objectives makes our decision to participate in the Will Aid campaign an easy one. To date, 340,000 Wills have been drafted as part of the campaign!
The Will Aid charities work with the most vulnerable people near and far. The sums raised by the campaign have improved the lives of countless people.
Peter de Vena Franks, campaign director, added:
“I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to Blackwood & Smith for their incredible efforts this year and much-valued contribution over the many years they have supported Will Aid.
“By giving up their time, our nine partner charities can use these donations and legacies left by Will makers to transform the lives of people in need, both here in the UK and all around the world.”
