Thorntons raises £44,000 for Cash for Kids

Thorntons waived its fees for making or updating wills throughout September 2017 and asked clients to make a donation to the children’s charity Cash for Kids instead, raising an incredible £44,000.

“Making a will is something everyone in Scotland aged over 16 should be thinking about but people often fear it’s a costly and morbid experience,” said Lorna Goodfellow, partner at Thorntons.

“This isn’t the case and Thorntons Charity Wills month provided the ideal time to get affairs in order while supporting a local cause.

“We are committed to raising awareness and supporting local causes in the areas which our offices operate. The Charity Wills initiative is our longest running campaign – now in its 21st year and we’ve raised our biggest sum to date. It’s great to support Cash for Kids but also highlight the importance of having an up-to-date Will.”

Claire Heaton, charity manager for Radio Tay’s Cash for Kids, said: “We are extremely grateful for the continued support from Thorntons. Their Charity Wills Campaign in 2017 was the most successful yet – raising an amazing £44,000.

“It’s thanks to the generosity of Thorntons and their clients that we have been able to transform the lives of disadvantaged children living in the local community.”
