Matthew Reed, CEO of Marie Curie UK s comments ‘Over the past 6 years Scullion LAW have helped
more than 1000 people across Scotland to write a Will, raising an incredible amount of future income
for Marie Curie through gifts left. I would like to thank Scullion LAW for extending their free Will
writing offer to Marie Curie colleagues, particularly during this time when their passion, love and care
have never been needed more to allow them to write or update their Wills. On behalf of Marie Curie,
a heartfelt thank you for all you do and congratulations on your well –deserved award’.

Every £20 pays for one hour of vital care for people dying from a terminal illness like cancer,
dementia, MND and Parkinson’s.

Despite a national lockdown, the lawyers successfully prepared over 300 free Wills electronically for
people living across Scotland in return for a small gift or donation to Marie Curie.
