 Will
Relief Scotland
This is a way
you and your firm can help some of the poorest
people on earth. The scheme is very simple
–for you and your clients. Participating
solicitors simply agree that during the
month of May they waive their usual fees
for drawing up a will and instead suggest
their client makes a donation to Scottish
Will Aid.
Who?
Will Relief Scotland is a group of 5 overseas aid
charities based in Scotland.
Between them
they work in Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia
and Latin America.Their work is as varied
as the places they reach and people they
support.
Their projects
range from; flying school supplies into
Mongolia, renovating a hospital wing for
children with AIDS in Romania, building
a clinic in Nepal, support for teenage girls
at risk in Brazil to feeding poor school
children in Malawi.
What unites
all five charities is their commitment to
reach out to those in desperate need regardless
of their race or creed. |
