Leeds Solicitor raises over £6000 for Will Aid Charity

One of Leeds’ leading law firms has raised over £6000 for UK charity ‘Will Aid’, making it one of the top donating legal firms in the UK.

Grahame Stowe Bateson’s team of solicitors donated their skills and time to write a will for clients without charging a fee. Clients were then invited to make a donation to Will Aid, with the suggested minimum donation of £85 for a basic will.

Since 1988, Will Aid has helped the legal profession raise over £9 million for good causes. The Will Aid charities, which include Age UK, NSPCC, British Red Cross and Save the Children, all work with the most vulnerable people in the UK and around the world, ensuring that the money raised will improve countless lives.

Senior Partner Grahame Stowe commented, "Will Aid is a terrific opportunity for members of the public to put their affairs in order. They gain peace of mind by writing their Will whilst helping fund life-changing charity work at the same time. Over 1,500 legal firms participated in this years Will Aid campaign raising an estimated £1.65m in donations and Gift Aid, which is an amazing achievement. In this tough economic climate it’s great to be involved in something positive that gives something back to members of the community that are less fortunate."
