SIR – I am pleased to let your readers know that during November our firm, Bird & Daniels, took part in Will Aid, something we have done for more than 20 years.

Will Aid is the UK’s top charity will-writing scheme. It offers everyone the opportunity to make or update their will in return for a donation. This money is shared by nine UK charities: Action Aid, Age UK, British Red Cross, Christian Aid, NSPCC, Save the Children, Sightsavers, SCIAF (Scotland) and Trocaire (Northern Ireland).

As part of the Will Aid campaign, we made basic wills for local people without charging our usual fee. In return for this service, the clients made a donation to Will Aid.

We had a very busy and successful campaign and wrote 44 wills for local people. This means that over £3,000 has been raised for Will Aid. An additional 25 per cent will be added to this through the Gift Aid scheme where appropriate.

Nationwide, the scheme had its best year ever, raising over £1.5 million. We are proud that once again Bird & Daniels has been involved.

We would like to thank all those clients who came to us during the Will Aid campaign.

D Daniels, Bird & Daniels, Westgate, Shipley
