Two Preston solicitors are taking part in a national money-saving charity will campaign.

Throughout November, law firms including Preston’s N&R Law Solicitors and Vincents Solicitors are volunteering their time to write basic wills in exchange for donations to Will Aid.

The annual campaign represents great value to the public as the suggested donations – £100 for a single will and £180 for a pair of mirror wills – are lower than most normal solicitor fees. 

Peter de Vena Franks, Campaign Director for Will Aid, said: “The last couple of years have been exceptionally challenging for people, and the cost-of-living crisis has unfortunately added to that. 

“While the challenges may have changed, one thing that remains the same is the importance of having a will in place to protect your wishes. This document can provide support to the loved ones you leave behind, as well as causes close to you through legacies. 

“I encourage anyone who does not have an up-to-date will to use this opportunity to get theirs this November, while supporting the life-changing work of our nine partner charities.”

People can find their Will Aid solicitor by entering their postcode on the campaign’s website.

Since launching in 1988, Will Aid has helped 340,000 people protect their wishes with a will and raised more than £22 million for charity. 

All money raised during Will Aid is shared between ActionAid, Age UK, British Red Cross, Christian Aid, NSPCC, Save the Children, SCIAF, Sightsavers, and Trocaire.

People can book their will appointment for this November by calling 0300 0300 013 or visiting the Will Aid website.
