Will Aid 2019
Rory Patton • September 17, 2019
How Will Aid works
As participating solicitors, this November we will draw up a basic Will for you without charging our usual fee. Instead, you are invited to make a voluntary donation to Will Aid. The Will Aid charities all work with the most vulnerable people in the UK and around the world, so that sum of money will have improved countless lives and by writing your will you may spare your family the distress of coping with legal complications as well as losing a loved one.
What is Will Aid?
Will Aid is an annual fundraising campaign involving nine of the UK’s leading charities. With the support of solicitors who donate their skills, people are encouraged to have their Will drawn up by a professional solicitor whilst at the same time supporting charity.
What has Will Aid achieved?
Since 1988, Will Aid has enabled the legal profession to raise over £19 million for good causes. The Will Aid charities all work with the most vulnerable people in the UK and around the world, so that sum of money will have improved countless lives. You can find out more about the great work the Will Aid charities do by following this link.
Over those years, Will Aid has encouraged and helped more than 300,000 people to make their Wills. By writing their Wills, these people may have spared their family the distress of coping with legal complications as well as losing a loved one.

A pleasure as always to be involved in judging this great project and well done to all those who took part. Its fantastic to see the students being encouraged to develop their public speaking skills at such a young age.
A big thanks to everyone involved in another fantastic Dungannon Rugby Football Club Golf Class last Friday. We were delighted to be one of the main sponsors this year for an event that is going from strength to strength.

We were delighted to present a cheque this week to the Southern Area Hospice for donations raised through their 'Make a Will' Campaign in October. Our office is now closed for the Christmas holidays and will re-open on Thursday 2nd December 2025 at 9.00am. Wishing all our clients a merry Christmas and happy New Year.
The students had been working hard gathering clues over the last 4 weeks trying to solve a murder mystery before presenting their case to judges Rory Patton, solicitor and the school Principal Mrs McHugh. They showcased excellent research and problem solving skills. Well done to the winners and to all involved in a very well run and worthwhile project.
