HARTE COYLE COLLINS pledges support to charities through Will Aid 2026 – Donations to Charity Replace Solicitors Fees
HARTE COYLE COLLINS, Solicitors & Advocates at 9-15 Queen Street, Belfast has pledged its support to eight leading charities after signing up to take part in this year’s Will Aid campaign.
The firm is joining Will Aid for the first time this year, volunteering its time and expertise to write basic Wills throughout November. Instead of charging its usual fee, the firm will invite clients to make an upfront donation to Will Aid.
Nichola Harte, Partner said today:
“We are delighted to be supporting Will Aid this year. It’s a fantastic opportunity to use our professional expertise to make a real difference, both by helping people in our community put an important Will in place and by raising money for eight incredible charities.
Making a Will is something many people put off, but it is one of the most important things you can do to make sure your wishes are known and your loved ones are provided for. We hope Will Aid will encourage more people to take that step this November, while knowing their donation will also help support people and communities who need it.”
Every November solicitors taking part in Will Aid volunteer their time to write basic Wills, waiving their usual fee and instead inviting clients to make an upfront donation to the campaign.
The suggested donation is £120 for a basic single Will or £200 for a pair of basic mirror Wills.
Donations support eight of the UK’s best-loved charities: Age UK, Christian Aid, Crisis, NSPCC, SCIAF (Scotland), Shelter, Trócaire (Northern Ireland) and British Red Cross,
Since its launch in 1988, Will Aid has raised more than £26 million in donations for its partner charities, with millions more pledged through charitable legacies.
Peter de Vena Franks, Will Aid Campaign Director, said:
“We are incredibly grateful to HARTE COYLE COLLINS for signing up to Will Aid 2026. The campaign simply wouldn’t be possible without solicitors across the country generously volunteering their time and expertise.
By taking part, firms like HARTE COYLE COLLINS are not only helping people in their communities put a professionally written Will in place but also raising vital funds for eight charities doing extraordinary work in the UK and around the world.
We hope people in Belfast will take advantage of the opportunity this November and make or update their Will while supporting some fantastic causes at the same time.”
