SOLICITORS in Leominster helped raise almost £3,000 for UK charities.

Gabbs LLP on Broad Street raised £2,961 by taking part in Will Aid.

Participation required them to write wills for local people and ask clients to donate to the nine Will Aid charities instead of charging the usual fee.

The charities included ActionAid, Age UK, British Red Cross, Christian Aid, NSPCC, Save the Children, Sightsavers, SCIAF and Trocaire.
