Belfast firm RP Crawford Solicitors has raised more through this year’s annual charity will-writing campaign than any other firm in Northern Ireland, with an impressive total of £1,440.
The firm has taken part in the Will Aid campaign since 2009, raising a grand total of £6,331 by volunteering time and expertise to write wills and inviting clients to make a donation to Will Aid in lieu of the typical fee.
The money raised is shared between the campaign’s partner charities, which work across many different causes in the UK and across the world.
Robert Crawford said: “We’re delighted to be the highest donating firm in Northern Ireland. The entire team is very proud to take part in Will Aid and we’re especially pleased to have given so many people the reassurance of knowing they have a professionally written will.
“We love taking part in the campaign and to raise so much for charity was a real team effort.
“It’s a brilliant feeling to know that such well-deserving charities will benefit, helping people both here in the UK and abroad who are facing challenging times.”
Since the launch of Will Aid in 1988, solicitors have helped to raise more than £24 million for charity in donations alone, with many millions more in pledged charitable legacies.
Jonathan Chase, chair of Will Aid, said: “Huge congratulations to the team for raising such a staggering amount this year.
“It’s amazing that so many solicitors give their time to volunteer so generosity, using their expertise to help people gain peace of mind by getting a professionally written will while fundraising for our incredible charities who do such crucial and life-changing work in the UK and around the world.
“On behalf of all the partner charities, a massive thank you and well done to RP Crawford Solicitors Limited and all the firms who have taken part this year!”
Peter de Vena Franks, Will Aid’s campaign director, added: “What a great team effort from everyone who has taken part in this year’s Will Aid campaign.
“Thank you to everyone who has harnessed their expertise and generosity to give their time, helping to protect people’s wishes and also supporting such worthwhile partner charities who are changing lives for the better.”
