A law firm’s annual charity campaign has reached a record milestone as Thorntons raises £75,000 for Cash for Kids through its Charity Wills initiative – a £13,000 increase on the previous year.
Now in its 23rd year, Thorntons’ Charity Wills month takes place across its offices in Fife, Dundee, Perth, Angus and 2019 marked the first year for Edinburgh’s involvement. To date the campaign has raised more than £450,000 for Cash for Kids.
The initiative ran throughout the month of September and for any Wills written during this time, the firm did not charge a fee – instead clients were asked to make an equivalent donation to Cash for Kids.
Lorna Christine, Partner at Thorntons in Dundee, said: “Creating and updating a Will should be a consideration for adults in Scotland especially when you own valuable assets such as property or have young children. We’ve been delighted with the generosity of clients who took this opportunity to put their affairs in order and support local causes at the same time.
“It’s fantastic to see our Charity Wills initiative gain momentum every year with the latest campaign marking a milestone fundraising total for the firm. The beneficiaries linked with Cash for Kids allows us to support groups and individuals within the communities in which our offices are situated.”
Last year the money raised through Thorntons’ Charity Wills Campaign supported several local causes. This included funding for two Dundee school children to go on a sign language course so that they could communicate with friends, family and teachers. The campaign also helped to support 17,000 Tayside children with fun and food projects.
Claire Anderson, Radio Tay’s Cash for Kids Charity Manager, said: “The support that Thorntons and its clients have given to Cash for Kids over the years has been incredible and this year is no different. They have raised a fantastic sum of money from the Charity Wills campaign again this year and we are forever grateful for their support.”
