LONDON, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- London and Essex based law firm; Rainer Hughes has raised thousands to support charities operating in the UK and around the world, including those aiding vulnerable children.
Donations raised by participating firms during Will Aid month are shared between the campaign's nine partner charities, one of which being Save the Children.
Rainer Hughes raised a total of £4,930 for charity will writing campaign Will Aid last November, after its staff volunteered their time and expertise in return for a voluntary donation.
The charity is currently one of many ramping up support for people affected by the war in Ukraine, which has seen millions flee their home to escape the conflict. Its vital role includes providing children and their families with winter clothing, medicines and mental health support.
As well as supporting victims of the war, the charity is also aiding children in Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen and is helping the 30% of UK children living in poverty through access to education, food and medicine.
Michael Casson, solicitor at Rainer Hughes, said:"This has been a turbulent 12 months around the world, with the pandemic being just one of the crises we continue to face.
"Will Aid provides firms like ours the opportunity to reach more people in our community yet to write a will, both helping protect their loved ones' futures while providing vital support to charities like Save the Children.
Michael Casson from Rainer Hughes added "It's nice to go home with a smile on your face having made a contribution to such a great cause."
The suggested voluntary donation for a single will at a participating firm is £100 and £180 for a pair of mirror wills.
These vital donations can provide families with hygiene kits and essential school supplies to help ensure children do not miss out on their education. They could also provide emergency shelter, warm clothes, blankets and heaters to those displaced by conflict.
Margaret Berrill, Ambassador at Save the Children, said: "Every child should live in a world where they are fed, learning and treated fairly – and have the chance of the future they deserve.
"The vital funding raised through initiatives like Will Aid help us on our mission to make that a reality, enabling us to support children both here in the UK and around the world.
"We are incredibly grateful to Rainer Hughes for their support."
Peter de Vena Franks, Will Aid campaign director, added: "2021 was another extremely challenging year.
"But thanks to the commitment of local solicitors who took taking part in last year's campaign, our partner charities can continue to provide the support vulnerable people rightly deserve, such as those affected by conflict and disaster.
"I would like to pass on my heartfelt gratitude to Rainer Hughes for their incredible work in the face of what was another year disrupted heavily by the pandemic."
Running since 1988, Will Aid has raised more than £22million in donations and many millions more in pledged legacies.
This year's campaign will begin in November, with those looking for more information encouraged to visit the Will Aid website directly.
