Thorntons re-runs Cash for Kids charity wills campaign

Legal firm Thorntons is again supporting Cash for Kids in its Charity Wills campaign, which returns for this month.

Taking place across its offices in Fife, Dundee, Perth, Angus and Edinburgh, Thorntons will not charge a fee for wills written during September. Instead, the firm is asking clients to make an equivalent donation to Cash for Kids.

More than £550,000 has been raised for Cash for Kids through this initiative since it first launched 26 years ago, and the firm hopes that the 2022 total will set a new record.

Donations from last year’s campaign allowed Cash for Kids to support 2,982 families who often have nowhere else to go for support, with basic essentials like supermarket vouchers and clothing.

"To say this campaign has been a success over the years would be an understatement", Victoria Hendry, Radio Forth’s Cash for Kids charity manager commented.

"We are so delighted to be the beneficiary of this wonderful campaign and we cannot thank Thorntons’ people and their clients enough for getting behind it. We have managed to help thousands of local children live a happier and fuller life thanks to Thorntons’ Charity Wills month."

Murray Etherington, partner and head of Wills, Trusts & Succession planning at Thorntons added: "As the cost-of-living crisis worsens across the country, the work that Cash for Kids do to provide families with basic essentials such as food, toiletries and clothing, has never been more important and we’re proud to support them once again this year."

Anyone wishing to make a new will or update an existing will during the campaign can find out more online. All appointments will be held virtually.
