BRM solicitors raises nearly £10k for Chesterfield Royal Macmillan Cancer Centre

A charity will writing service, run by local law firm and Chesterfield Champion BRM Solicitors, has raised a total of £9,742 to help build the new Chesterfield Royal Macmillan Cancer Centre.

Throughout October and November 2015 BRM Solicitors offered to waive their usual will writing fees in exchange for clients making a cash donation to Macmillan Cancer Support.

Rob Woodhead, Head of Wills and Probate at BRM Solicitors says: “The campaign was a huge success, giving people the opportunity to make a will who otherwise may not have done so, whilst at the same time raising awareness of the Chesterfield Royal Macmillan Cancer Centre Appeal.

Many clients chose to donate more than the suggested £54, showing their support for Macmillan’s vital work and the legal service we provided. The money raised will help to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.”

Rob Turner, the local fundraising manager at Macmillan says: “Thank you to everyone who took up BRM Solicitors offer and made a generous donation to Macmillan. Whether you choose to donate now, in your will, or both, your support is vital in helping Macmillan be there to support more people in Chesterfield who are affected by cancer.”

Planned to open in autumn this year, the £8.9m centre will transform cancer services for people across North Derbyshire. Macmillan Cancer Support has a fundraising target of £2.5 million to make the Chesterfield Royal Macmillan Cancer Centre a reality.
