Solicitors raise £4,600 for good causes
Perthshire solicitors Miller Hendry have been praised after raising £4,600 for charity.
The solicitors took part in the Will Aid campaign, which saw staff at both the Perth and Crieff offices writing basic wills for free throughout November.
In return, clients made a charitable donation to Will Aid, which then goes to nine different charities. Colleagues across Tayside raised £4,645 for Will Aid.
The firm was visited this week by Anthony McVeigh from the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund, who presented partners and staff with a certificate of thanks.
Ernie Boath, partner at Miller Hendry and head of private clients, said: “Everyone at Miller Hendry is very passionate about raising money for all these fantastic charities through Will Aid, and we are very proud of the amount we have raised over the years.
“Our certificate will take pride of place in our reception areas for all our clients to see.
“Wills give people peace of mind that their families are taken care of and it is the only way to put you in control of your estate after death.
“Will Aid also allowed people to donate money to charity, which is all the more reason to consider making that allimportant will.”
