Midlands based law firm, Talbots Solicitors, recently handed a cheque to Breast Cancer Care having arranged a successful Will donation fund raising event across its offices. 

Every November, law firms across the UK participate in National Make A Will Month and Talbots has supported this particular campaign for a number of years. As if this was not enough, Talbots ran a fund raising campaign alongside Will Aid to raise money for Breast Cancer Care - and last week, Talbots were deligted to hand a 'big' cheque to the charity for nearly £1,300. 

Mary Mocklow, Practice Director at Talbots said "Breast cancer is now the most common cancer among women in the UK. Every week, over 800 people receive the devastating news that they have breast cancer. We try and support charities that touch the lives of our clients and are delighted to have helped in some small way".

Judy Beard, Director of Fundraising and Marketing at Breast Cancer Care said: 

"We are delighted that Talbots has supported Breast Cancer Care. Every contribution makes a difference and funds raised will go towards ensuring that Breast Cancer Care can continue to offer vital support to women and men with breast cancer, their families and friends". 

In addition to the £1,300 raised for Breast Cancer Care, Talbots has presented Will Aid 2010 with over £1,600. Will Aid 2010 raised over £1.5 million and supports nine charities including Sightsavers, Christian Aid and the British Red Cross. Talbots will be supporting the next campaign in November 2011.
