Representing the nine charities, including SCIAF, ActionAid, Age UK, Christian Aid, NSPCC, Save the Children, Sightsavers, Tro̓caire (Northern Ireland) and the British Red Cross.

Stephen Gillies, community legacy manager at the British Red Cross, was at the company’s training day at the King James VI Business Centre in Perth to present the firm with a certificate for the £10,390 raised for charity.

Having supported Will Aid for a number of years, the firm has now raised £92,174 to date, making it the UK’s third highest donating firm in the history of the Will Aid campaign, which has been promoted annually for the last 30 years.

Mr Gillies said: “We were so very grateful to Miller Hendry Solicitors and the Will Aid scheme for their generous contribution last year and in previous years as well.”

Caroline Fraser, partner at Miller Hendry, said: “Miller Hendry has been committed to raising money for these fantastic charities for many years now and we are absolutely delighted to have been able to raise so much during the last campaign in November 2018.”

Peter de Vena Franks, campaign director at Will Aid, commented: “Will Aid has made an amazing contribution to the work of these nine participating charities in the last 30 years. Thanks to the commitment of local solicitors that took part in this year’s Will Aid, many people both in the UK and abroad will receive life-changing support and local people who used the scheme have the peace of mind that having a professionally drawn up will brings.

“I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to Miller Hendry for their incredible efforts this year.”
