A law firm has raised more than £7,000 for charity this year after taking part in a will-writing campaign.
Barnet firm Michael Anvoner & Co Solicitors took part in the Will Aid scheme and raised £7,980 in a month by writing wills for people in the community in exchange for a donation.
The solicitors have raised £26,346 over the years they have been involved in the scheme.
Samantha Anastasiou, solicitor at the firm, said: “Our team has thoroughly enjoyed participating in Will Aid and have worked very hard.
“We are particularly proud to have surpassed our £25,000 target for such a worthwhile cause.
Anna Rzemineiecka from the British Red Cross visited the firm to present a certificate for their fundraising efforts.
She said: “The Red Cross uses donations to reach people in crisis, here in the UK and all around the world.
“With £60 we could provide 16 thermal blankets for people in need in Syria and with £300 we could provide 50 clean delivery kits for midwives in Myanmar."
Will Aid, now in its 29th year, raises money for nine charities: ActionAid, British Red Cross, Christian Aid, NSPCC, Save The Children, Sightsavers, Age UK, SCIAF (Scotland) and Trocaire (Northern Ireland).
