A firm of local solicitors has raised over £2000 for county-wide charity, Sight Concern.
Parkinson Wright Solicitors who have branches in Worcester, Droitwich and Evesham, held a ‘Make a Will Month’ in November where they offered people the opportunity to make a single will for £65 or a double one for only £85 with 100% of that fee going to Sight Concern Worcestershire.
Alice Watts, Fundraising and Publicity Manager from Sight Concern said “When Parkinson Wright attended our Sight Loss Awareness training they saw the importance of making their business accessible to people who are visually impaired. Many of the wills were made by people with sight loss who had not really had an accessible opportunity to do this before. We are delighted with the amount raised by Parkinson Wright as it will make a huge difference to a small charity such as ourselves”
Laura Redding from Parkinson Wright said “A will is an incredibly important document to have so we were happy to work with Sight Concern to bring the need to people’s attention and benefit a local charity in return. The experience has really highlighted to us the needs of people with sight loss and we were pleased that we could do something to support them.”
Sight Concern Worcestershire is a county-wide charity that supports people with all levels of sight loss in Worcestershire. The charity, previously known as Worcestershire Association for the Blind, is celebrating its 80th birthday in 2010.
