BRM Wills Month nets over £8,000 for Chesterfield FC Community Trust

BRM’s latest Wills Month campaign has raised thousands of pounds for Chesterfield FC Community Trust.

 

Throughout the campaign, BRM waive its usual Will writing fees in favour of voluntary donations to support the Trust – with a suggestion of £75 per person.

The initiative raised £8,881, which will go towards the Trust’s community support initiatives, including youth engagement projects and activities, community wellbeing programmes and initiatives, social and exercise clubs for older adults in the region.

Since the start of the partnership in 2025, BRM’s annual Wills Month campaigns have raised over £20,000 to help fund the Trust.

Executive directors Rob Woodhead and Paul Berresford lead the initiative at BRM’s Chesterfield office.

Rob said: “We’re incredibly proud to have raised £8,881 during our Wills Month in support of the Trust.

“As a Gold Friend of Chesterfield FC Community Trust, we’re delighted to raise much-needed funds that support health, wellbeing, and education in the region.”

Paul added: “The success of the Wills Month reflects the generosity of our clients and is a testament to what can be achieved when local businesses and the community come together.

“We’re thrilled to have raised over £20,000 since the start of our partnership last year, helping to fund vital activities that make a real difference to local people’s lives.”

Keith Jackson, deputy head of community at Chesterfield FC Community Trust, said: “The continued support from BRM directly increases our much

needed donations, that contribute to all of the Trust’s projects, such as Walking Football, Affected By Cancer and our Mental Health projects.

“The generous contributions from local residents directly shapes the provision and capacity that we have, so every penny makes a difference.

“Thank you to BRM and their clients, who have made a genuine impact in their local community.”
