A will-writing scheme has raised more than £6,600 for Worcester Cathedral.

The 'Make a Will this Summer' campaign saw Worcester Cathedral team up with four of the city's law firms.

Knights, Quality Solicitors Parkinson Wright, SME Solicitors, and Talbots Law all took part, providing free will-writing appointments.

In return, those who signed up were invited to make a donation to the Cathedral, raising £6,657.50.

Cathy Sloan, the cathedral's director of fundraising, said: "We are extremely grateful for the support that we have received from each of the solicitors taking part.

"They all offered multiple appointments, ensuring that those who needed to write a will or update an existing one, had the chance to do so.

"My heartfelt thanks goes also to everyone who made a donation to the cathedral.

"This support comes at just the right time.

"We are heading for our busy season and want to be a warm and welcoming space over Christmas."
