The ever-popular Will Aid returns this November, with potential benefits for both firms and charities

Participating solicitors draw up wills for their clients without charging their usual fee―instead inviting them to make a voluntary donation to Will Aid at a suggested figure of £100. The funds secured go to nine Will Aid charities, including the NSPCC, Save the Children and the British Red Cross, and more than £21m has been raised since Will Aid’s launch in 1988.

Caroline Hill of Fidler & Pepper Lawyers, said: ‘Since signing up to the scheme we have helped countless amounts of people at home and abroad, while also boosting our portfolio of new clients.’

Solicitors report a significant increase in enquiries about wills since the COVID-19 pandemic began. However, nearly one in two adults in the UK do not have a will.

Will Aid runs from 1-30 November 2021. Find out more at www.willaid.org.uk/solicitors/register
