When Love Island host Caroline Flack tragically took her own life at the start of this year she had not made a Will and it has been revealed recently that the fortune she amassed will go to causes the star was passionate about.

It seems a long time since employers were first introduced to the concept of the furlough scheme (or to give it its proper title, The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme) back on 23rd March. It is almost taken for granted now that the government shall provide such considerable support to both employers and employees – but back when it was first announced it was unprecedented in modern times.

At Macnabs, our corporate social responsibility programme is an important part of who we are. We have a strong track record of supporting our local communities and helping causes that are close to people’s hearts. Our solicitors volunteer for various organisations in their spare time, including the Lawscot Foundation.

We are delighted to be taking part in the Will Aid charity scheme again this year and are now taking bookings for appointments in November. Macnabs has taken part in Will Aid for 9 years. The Will Aid scheme is held annually in November and lawyers generously give up their time for free to write Wills for local people, in exchange for a donation to the charity. Macnabs has raised an impressive total of £54,361 to date making us one of he highest donating firms in Scotland.
