A West Cumbrian charity has raised over £1,000 thanks to people making a will.

West Cumbria Carers teamed up with Workington's Milburns Solicitors and Cockermouth solicitor Burnetts for Make A Will month.

The initiative encourages people to make a will in exchange for a donation.

The campaign supported around 18 people to make a will and raised more than £1,000 in donations for West Cumbria Carers.

Michelle McGibbon, community fundraising coordinator for the charity, said: "We are delighted with the success and with the support we have received from the local business and the general public.

"We very much hope that with support from Burnetts, Milburns and other local solicitors that we can run this campaign again next year."
