Lindsays and our clients have raised more than £11,000 for a leading mental health charity, providing vital support for services that help improve lives.
As part of our Make a Will Month fundraiser, we encouraged donations to SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health) instead of charging fees for Wills drafted.
Thanks to the generosity of our clients, the initiative has given a significant boost to the charity, an organisation we’ve proudly supported for many years.
Partner Alison McKay, one of the team of lawyers involved in the initiative, said:
“We are absolutely delighted to have raised so much for such a fantastic cause. This incredible achievement was only possible thanks to the generosity of our clients, and we are truly grateful for their support.
“SAMH makes such a difference to peoples’ lives by encouraging and supporting positive mental health, which is incredibly important to us as a firm. We are extremely proud of our continued association with the charity.
“Wills are something which everyone should have in place. By making your wishes clear, you can ease stress and pressure on your loved ones at what is an already upsetting time for them. Through this initiative, we have not only helped our clients secure their futures but also contributed to a cause that makes a real difference in people’s lives.”
Through our SAMH Make a Will appointments, Lindsays lawyers waived their regular fees. They instead recommended a donation of £200 to SAMH for an individual Will or £300 for a pair of ‘mirror’ Wills by couples.
SAMH, Scotland’s national mental health charity, works to end stigmas surrounding mental health, providing vital support services, raising awareness and help to those in need, with services for adults and young people.
Chief Executive Billy Watson said: “We are very grateful for this generous donation from Lindsays and their clients. It will help improve the lives of people experiencing mental health problems across Scotland.
“As one of our longest-standing corporate supporters, we appreciate Lindsays’ continued commitment to SAMH and to the wellbeing of our communities.”
Lindsays has previously worked closely with SAMH on workplace events, through staff fundraising and volunteering, as well as highlighting the benefits of sport and exercise on mental wellbeing.
