East Cheshire Hospice celebrated another successful Will Week campaign despite Covid restrictions.
The charity raised £8,687 thanks to the support of legal firms which donated time and expertise to help the Hospice.
Participants included GPW Trusts, which is now operating at Church Street, Macclesfield, and will be able to see clients there after the latest lockdown ends.
Other firms taking part in October’s Will Week were Poole Alcock, Spall Clark, Dunkerleys LLP, Stratford Solicitors and Alfred Newton.
Kate Bowmar, the charity’s Corporate Fundraiser, said: "Will Week is an important fundraising initiative for the Hospice, especially at the moment.
"The campaign raises vital funds and makes our supporters consider leaving a legacy gift in their will to the Hospice.
"It wouldn’t be a success without the goodwill and generosity of our local solicitors and the public, so we thank everyone who supported the campaign."
Gavin Prideaux-Williams, Estate Planning Consultant at GPW Trusts, said: "We were delighted to support Will Week in aid of East Cheshire Hospice which is part of the fabric of our community.
"The charity is having a tough time financially because of fundraising challenges, so it was vital the legal profession rallied round this year more than ever.
"We look forward to welcoming clients to our Macclesfield office soon, but we’re still very much open for business and can be contacted by phone and via our website."
The next Hospice Will Week (October 4-8) will be the 10th year of the initiative.
