Law firm raises over half a million pounds for Cancer Research

One of Southampton’s largest law firms has been thanked by the UK’s leading cancer charity for raising an outstanding amount of donations through its national fundraising scheme.

There was a tremendous sense of elation amongst members of the Wills & Probate Team at Eric Robinson Solicitors when nationwide charity, Cancer Research, revealed that the firm had raised over £500,000 since it became involved with the organisation’s ‘Free Will Service’.

The scheme, which offers people over the age of 55 the opportunity to make or update a standard Will with Cancer Research UK bearing some, if not all of the costs, has proved highly popular with hundreds of clients that specialists at Eric Robinson Solicitors have seen since they became involved in the scheme in 2002.

All branches of the firm in Bitterne, Chandlers Ford, Hedge End, Hythe and the city centre have been involved in the scheme and are thrilled with the results and recognition for their collective efforts.

‘The average value of our pledged gifts is £8,690,’ says Angela Pelleschi, Associate and Private Client Solicitor at Eric Robinson. ‘That is over double the figure for the Southampton area and over a third higher than the national figure, so this news has been a real thrill for the whole team.’
