Local solicitor raises funds for local charity We Hear You

THATCHER + Hallam has donated £1,962 to local charity We Hear You, following their successful Will Month initiative in October.  

The local solicitors say, “Will Month is an opportunity to highlight the importance of making a Will, offers a discount to clients who make their Will during October and also raises important funds for charity.  

“This year Thatcher + Hallam are working with We Hear You as their charity partner of the year and were delighted to be able to make the donation to them. We Hear You are a local charity offering free emotional support to patients, family, friends and carers who’ve been affected by life threatening conditions.” 

Partner at Thatcher + Hallam, as well as a member of the Wills, Probate + Estates team, Laura Ablett, adds, “None of us know when we might be in need of the sort of support WHY offer and so to be able to partner with them this year is really important to us as a team.  

“This is our most successful Will Month yet. Our appointments for the discounted Wills booked up in record time and we are delighted that we’ve been able to raise so much for WHY. Thanks to our clients for supporting this initiative and the team for all the work they’ve put into helping to make it happen.”  

Fundraising and Communications Manager at We Hear You, Gemma Wilkes, said, “We are enormously grateful to Thatcher + Hallam for this donation and their support this year. The money raised will pay for around 45 counselling sessions with We Hear You. These sessions are a lifeline for people affected by life-threatening illness and donations such as this make a significant difference to us, particularly at a time when many of our face-to-face fundraising events are still being impacted by COVID.”
