Mansfield law firm helped raise more than £6,000 for charity

Solicitors at Fidler & Pepper Lawyers have been volunteering their time and expertise to write wills in exchange for a voluntary donation to Will Aid.

And the British Red Cross is one of the charities which benefit from Will Aid.

Caroline Hill, head of wills at Fidler & Pepper, said the team had written more than 90 wills during the campaign month of November.

She said: “Charities have been hit hard due to the pandemic, so we’re delighted we were able to play our part in helping charities like British Red Cross to continue their lifesaving work.

“Making a will is something that many people put off, but we have found that the pandemic has prompted people to get their affairs in order.

“Taking part in this scheme enabled people to get a professionally drawn-up will and peace of mind, while the charities receive much-needed donations for their vital work.”

The firm has offices on Regent Street in Mansfield town centre and Low Street in Sutton town centre.

Peter de Vena Franks, campaign director, said: “Thanks to the commitment of local solicitors that took part in this year’s Will Aid, many people both in the UK and abroad will receive life-changing support and local people who used the scheme are prepared for the future."
