Following on from their successful wills initiative in 2016, the Wills and Probate Department at Le Gallais and Luce has continued its support in 2017 by donating 10% of its will writing fees to the local branch of the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association.
Partner, Marianne Shaw, head of the Wills and Probate Department at Le Gallais and Luce, commented “My team members are passionate about the work that we do and continue to spread the message about the importance of making a will, and the fact that this has led to the firm being able to support our local community has given the team a real sense of achievement. In 2016, and to date in 2017, the firm has raised almost £7,000.00 for the charity and we will continue to support it through our wills initiative until 30 June 2017. I am very proud of what we have achieved.”
Ken Syvret, Chairman, Jersey Branch, Guide Dogs for the Blind, commented “The Jersey Branch of Guide Dogs for the Blind has welcomed the generous sponsorship which Le Gallais & Luce has provided during the whole of 2016 and into 2017 towards the training of a Guide Dog. It has been a pleasure working with Marianne Shaw and the partners and staff who have all embraced the project. The wonderful idea of donating a proportion of fees for the drawing up of Wills for their clients not only raises immediate funds for the work of Guide Dogs but also brings to the attention of clients the benefits to a blind or visually disabled person of the ownership of a Guide Dog. We are so grateful.”
Due to the amount of money raised by Le Gallais and Luce the firm has been given the opportunity to become a part of Guide Dog history by being able to name their own puppy. Partner, Marianne Shaw, welcomes this opportunity: “We are very excited to become part of Guide Dog history and have decided to invite our clients and staff to take part and to give their suggestions to name our own puppy.” If you would like to take part please email or telephone Le Gallais and Luce as per the details below with your suggestions. The winning name will be selected by the partners of the firm in early July 2017.
