WORCESTER-based QualitySolicitors Parkinson Wright is taking part in October's Will Month.

Following QualitySolicitors and Barnardo’s award winning success at the Institute of Fundraising’s National Awards 2017, the partnership aims to push the will scheme initiative to new heights with October's Will Month.

Now in its fifth successive year, October Will Month raises awareness of the importance of making a will that ensures that you have the necessary arrangements in place to look after your family and friends, as well as remembering causes that are close to your heart.

During the whole of October anyone aged 55 or over, the Worcester firm will write a simple will without it costing you a penny, in the hope that you will consider remembering Barnardo’s in your will alongside your loved ones.

The scheme has had resounding success so far, raising over £15 million in estimated future income for vulnerable and disadvantaged children.

The legacy donations will make a huge difference each year and every gift contributes directly to creating a better future for a vulnerable child in the UK.

Jean Newton, partner and head of private client at QualitySolicitors Parkinson Wright said: “We’re delighted to be involved with Barnardo’s Will Month again.

"We hope that people in the local community will visit one of our branches throughout October and get involved with this great initiative.”
