A Warm Welcome Awaits At Our Brand New Office.

Pedal power, punctures and perseverance!

Huge congratulations to all who took part with a special mention to solicitors Laura Hall, Neil Andrews and Charlotte Lilley. Great resilience was shown in some challenging conditions. Everyone involved showed tremendous spirit, raising vital funds for a fantastic cause.

When Should I Make Or Review A Will?

A will is the only way to make sure your money, property, possessions and investments (known as your estate) go to the people and causes you care about. There are certain times in life when the important job of making a will becomes even more vital. If you've already made a will it is worth reviewing it every few years just to make sure that it still matches your family circumstances and that your wishes remain the same.
