Over the summer, Worcester Cathedral teamed up with four of the city’s leading firms of solicitors and raised almost £7,000 through its ‘Make a Will this Summer’ campaign.
Worcester Cathedral partners with local solicitors and raises vital funds for the Cathedral
Each firm of solicitors generously agreed to give their time and expertise for free, offering appointments to the community to write or update their Wills.
Everyone who took an appointment was asked to consider making a donation to Worcester Cathedral – and they raised £6,647.50!
Cathy Sloan, the Cathedral’s Director of Fundraising, said:
“We are extremely grateful for the support we have received from each solicitor taking part. They all offered multiple appointments ensuring that those who needed to write a Will, or update an existing one, had the chance to do so.
“My heartfelt thanks also goes to everyone who donated to the Cathedral.
“This support comes at just the right time. We are heading for our busy season and as always at this time of year we want to be a warm and welcoming space over Christmas. Wonderful support like this from the community will help us to be there for everyone.”
Knights, Quality Solicitors Parkinson Wright, SME Solicitors, and Talbots Law all generously gave their time to take part.
Worcester Cathedral has confirmed that the scheme will be back again next summer.
