Over the Summer months we teamed up with four of Worcester’s leading firms of solicitors to raise £6,647.50 through our ‘Make a Will this Summer’ campaign.
Each firm 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 to help ensure that it remains a beacon of hope at the heart of our community.
Four firms generously took part – Knights, Quality Solicitors Parkinson Wright, SME Solicitors, and Talbots Law.
Cathy Sloan, the Cathedral’s Director of Fundraising, said: “We are extremely grateful for the support that we have received from each of the solicitors 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 goes also to everyone who made a donation 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.”
And we can confirm that the scheme will be back again next summer!
