In October 2009 the team was informed by Haworth and Nuttall Solicitors, that we had been named in the will of the late Mrs Ellen Morris as a Charity Beneficiary alongside four other charities.
Since this time our Team Leader Garry Rhodes MBE has been liaising with Haworth and Nuttall regards this bequest.
Mrs Ellen Morris of Plane Street, Blackburn, died on 3rd March 2009, leaving donations to Blackburn Ramblers, Cancer Research UK and friends, with the remainder of her estate equally divided between four Charities and a Church.
Today we have received the final Estate and distribution amount due to the team under the late Mrs Ellen Morris’s will.
With thanks to the thoughtful kindness of the late Mrs Ellen Morris the team has received £10,390.02p
