Glasgow legal firm Scullion Law has helped 700 people leave money to the charity.
An annual free will-writing campaign for the over-55s will lead to £155,000 being donated to Marie Curie Scotland.
The campaign has seen Glasgow legal firm Scullion Law provide more than 700 free wills over the past five years to raise money for the care charity.
Scullion now hopes to help another 300 people leave donations during this year’s campaign.
Gordon Lennox, specialist senior private client solicitor, said: “We are delighted to confirm that the Scullion Law Free Will scheme in aid of Marie Curie is now once again available to everyone in the community aged 55 and over. We provide this service quite simply because we care.”
He added: “The way of the world right now is of huge concern to us all, so if we can help provide some positivity and peace of mind to those using the service, then there is no work we can do that carries greater community value.
“The bonus of this campaign, of course, the big bonus, is the positive financial impact this has on Marie Curie Scotland with monies generated through donations and legacies providing a lifechanging impact for those who really do need it most, allowing the nurses to continue providing vital care at home for those who need it and support to families.”
With coronavirus continuing to impact day-to-day life, Scullion is conducting appointments over the phone, Skype and Facetime until further notice. Advice on writing wills is also available at the firm’s website.
Nigel Gorvett, head of legacies at Marie Curie, thanked Scullion for its “outstanding” fundraising efforts.
He said: “We would like to take this opportunity to thank Scullion Law and everyone in the community for helping us to raise such as substantial amount of future income for the charity to provide hands-on care and support to people and families suffering from a terminal illness.
“This amount is really outstanding and we can’t thank Scullion Law enough for the support offered to Marie Curie both inside and outside of work via fundraising and this Free Will scheme.”
