Bartys Solicitors, a branch of Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie LLP (WJM), has taken part in the Will Aid campaign since 1996, raising a grand total of £64,287, by volunteering their time and expertise to write wills and, instead of charging their usual fees for writing basic Wills, inviting clients to make a donation to Will Aid.

The money raised is shared between the campaign’s partner charities, which work across many different causes in the UK and across the world.

Beth Hamilton, head partner at WJM Dunblane, said: “We’re delighted to have taken part in Will Aid for yet another year and to be recognised as one of the highest donating firms in the UK this year, is a huge achievement.

“Helping people to get their affairs in order and ensuring their wishes are honoured during today’s challenging times, fills us with great pride. It’s a testament to the dedication of our team and the value we place on supporting worthy causes.”

Jonathan Chase, chair of Will Aid, said: “Huge congratulations to the team at Bartys Solicitors for raising such a staggering amount this year. It’s amazing that so many solicitors give their time to volunteer so generosity, using their expertise to help people gain peace of mind by getting a professionally written will while fundraising for our incredible charities who do such crucial and life-changing work in the UK and around the world.

“On behalf of all the partner charities, a massive thank you and well done to Bartys Solicitors and all the firms who have taken part this year!”
