We were recently invited by Lyons Bowe, a local legal practice with branches across the South West and South Wales, to become featured on their legacy scheme webpage. Through this scheme they offer a reduced cost will writing service if a client includes a legacy to charity. As you may well be aware, especially if you read Peter Janes’ article in our last newsletter, there are tax advantages to doing so.

Of course, this is something that is open to everyone, and every solicitor / will writing service can advise you on the subject. But Lyons Bowe have gone one step further and “partnered” with a number of charities, us included, to proactively encourage people to think about leaving a legacy to their favourite good cause when drawing up their will. 

We are of course delighted to be listed alongside many leading local and national charities, all of which stand to benefit from the increased publicity of their cause and their efforts to make the world a better place. We wish the scheme, and all its participants every success. 



You will see in the near future, if you follow social media at all, posts from Lyons Bowe and from The Mendip Society that mention the “partnership” between us.

The Mendip Hills sit high above the Somerset countryside in South West England.



The limestone uplands feature dry gorges, caves, sinks and river sources. One of the most famous areas is the Cheddar Gorge, and the Mendip Hills National Landscape is a protected landscape.

The Mendip Society works to conserve and enhance the Mendip Hills and surrounding areas for everyone to enjoy. 

As a registered charity, we organise social activities on the hills for all our members including walks, special interest visits and talks. We also manage some small nature reserves and members are encouraged to be involved with these.
