LAWYERS from a Worcestershire law firm have raised more than £3,800 for St Richard's Hospice.

The hospice ran a write a will month, an initiative aimed at encouraging people to realise the importance of planning for the future while in the process raising money for a good cause.

Mfg Solicitors offered their services for free in support of the popular fundraiser that continues to be a hugely popular annual initiative with people across Worcester and the surrounding area, as it gives them the opportunity to have their will professionally prepared for a discounted cost.

Amanda Piper, a wills and probate specialist within the private client team at Mfg Solicitors, said: “We were delighted to have raised so much money for St Richards Hospice.

“This is the fourth year we have been running this initiative with the team at St Richard's Hospice and over that period we have raised a brilliant £14,800 for the charity.

"That’s all thanks to the support from people across Worcester and beyond.”

The charity cares for more than 2,500 patients, their loved ones and carers each year in the county.

Rachel Jones, St Richards Hospice's fundraising manager, said: “Through the kindness of Mfg Solicitors we are able to raise more money to continue offering our services for free to patients and their families.

“We depend on donations and legacies from generous supporters to raise the millions of pounds we need every year to provide our services.”
