Join us to help charity this November

Are you interested in using your legal skills for good causes? In November 2012, around 1,400 UK solicitors took part in Will Aid, helping nearly 24,000 new clients write wills and raising over £2 million for charity.  Better still, 85% of participating solicitors reported that joining Will Aid gained them fee-earning business, as well as positive local publicity*.

What is Will Aid?

Will Aid is simple. You waive your fee for writing a basic Will – instead you invite your client to make a similar donation to the Will Aid charities.

Why should I take part?

In brief: the feel-good factor of supporting good causes, plus the opportunity to promote your practice and meet new clients.

Will Aid worked for me

"In my experience, Will Aid provides a new client base who may well not otherwise make Wills, for example, people who have young families and wish to appoint guardians. Once an individual has made a Will with a particular solicitor it forms the basis of a lasting relationship for their future legal needs."
