It is the seventh year running that the law firm has supported Marie Curie, which has hospices in Glasgow and Edinburgh and provides care and support to terminally ill people and their families across Scotland.

Christine Devlin, legacy and in memory lead, Marie Curie, said: “To have received £250,000 is an incredible milestone, especially as the charity needs to raise this amount each week to support our services in Scotland.

“Now, more than ever, our services are needed. In the past year, we cared for over 9,000 terminally ill people across Scotland – the highest on record since the charity began in 1948.

“It’s through local businesses, organisations and kind-hearted people that we are able to be there for people on their final journey.”

Nicholas Scullion, managing partner, Scullion LAW, said: “It is with great joy and pride that we mark this milestone of £250,000 in aid of Marie Curie Scotland.

“We would like to thank every single one of our generous clients for their kind donations and we would also like to thank our hard working team for all of the care, passion and energy they put into this free will writing campaign year on year.

“We have been working closely with Marie Curie for several years. They are a charity very close to our hearts because they have been there at the bedside of our loved ones during their time of need.”
