Two years ago a South Ribble based company diversified from their usual core business, and partnered with a national charity to be able to offer a free service to people of the local area.
Marley Solicitors Ltd, established for over a decade, have been offering legal services in Bamber Bridge where they have been based for over 5 years now.
The small, all-female law firm, based out of their Station Road branch, entered into partnership with national charity Cancer Research UK in 2021. The idea was to be able to bring a free will-writing service to people of the area.
Within 2 years this partnership has delivered:
- £283,067 in valuable income for the charity
- Provided over 120 local people a free professional solicitor written will
