With four offices across the East Midlands, Timms Solicitors recognise that, as a local business, we have a responsibility to society
We take our role within the wider community seriously and as such undertake many fundraising and charity events as part of our corporate social responsibility.
Charity Will Schemes
We run free and discounted charity Will schemes, through which many of our clients are able to make their Will free of charge or at a discounted rate. The charities we are currently involved with are as follows:
- Cancer Research UK
- Alzheimer's Society
- National Free Will Network
- Remember a Charity
- Derbyshire Wildlife Trust
- Staffordshire Wildlife Trust
- Treetops
In 2023, Timms were recognised by Cancer Research for helping to raise over £8.4 million worth of gifts through the charity Will scheme over the 10 years we have participated. This amount continues to grow.
Charity Donations
We actively fundraise for a number of charities which include:
-
Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance
NSPCC
Derby County Community Trust
British Heart Foundation
Macmillan
Rainbows Children's Hospice
MIND
Shelter
Derby Food 4 Thought - Food Donations
Derby County Community Trust Partner
Timms are proud to be a Derby County Community Trust Partner.
After sponsoring an award at their annual community presentation evening for several years, we decided to formalise the agreement and become a Partner. This allows us to support specific projects across the City in addition to the 'Rams in Kenya' trip and the Annual Community Awards.
Wills & Probate Presentations
Over the years, we have hosted and guest presented at many local community events, discussing the importance of making a Will and getting affairs in order.
Our approach is simple and we take the time to explain key terms and processes without legal jargon. We find that interacting and joining a group much more useful than bringing along a Powerpoint presentation.
Groups that have asked us to visit include local WI's, libraries, Dementia Groups, local businesses and other community groups.
