Waldrons Solicitors Partners with Dudley Zoo & Castle to Offer Free Will Writing

Monday 8th September 2025

Waldrons Solicitors has joined forces with Dudley Zoo and Castle (DZC) to launch a special initiative offering a free Will writing service, helping to raise vital funds for the Zoo’s ongoing animal conservation and education work.

Between Monday 22 and Friday 26 September, the local law firm, which has offices in Dudley, Merry Hill and Kingswinford, will provide a professional Will writing service at no charge. Instead of paying a fee, clients are invited to make a voluntary donation with all contributions going directly to support Dudley Zoo and Castle, a registered charity.

Jonathan Ashfield, Finance Director at Dudley Zoo and Castle, said: “We are incredibly grateful to Waldrons Solicitors for giving their time and expertise to help raise funds for Dudley Zoo and Castle.

As a registered charity dedicated to animal conservation and education, we rely on support from our visitors and donors to help us raise funds. We hope those who are considering making a will take up this generous offer with all donations going to the zoo, which will enable us to continue our vital work.”

Making a will is one of the most important steps an individual can take to ensure their wishes are respected and loved ones are looked after. Waldrons dedicated Wills and Probate team works with clients across the West Midlands and beyond to provide clear, tailored advice on wills, trusts, inheritance tax planning and lasting powers of attorney.

Jessica Bird, Wills and Probate Solicitor at Waldrons, added: “Many people put off making a Will, but it gives real peace of mind knowing your affairs are in order. We’re delighted to be supporting Dudley Zoo and Castle, a much-loved local attraction and charity, while helping people take this important step for themselves and their families. This partnership gives people the chance to do something positive for their future and for the Zoo’s future too.”

Appointments are limited and expected to fill quickly. To book, please call Waldrons Solicitors on 01384 811811, quoting the Dudley Zoo offer.
