Supporter Celebration- Winston Solicitors!
This week’s blog post is an appreciation post for Winston Solicitors, who have been a generous long-time supporter of Leeds Mencap.
Winston Solicitors is an established and welcoming law firm with a first-class reputation, offering family law, conveyancing, wills, trust and probate, employment law and other legal services. They share our vision of supporting their local community and have been a valuable part of Leeds Mencap’s story.
Winston Solicitors have been supporting us since 2015 and have raised over £18,000 through various challenges and events including our previous accumulator and apprentice challenges and their brilliant annual quiz.
In March, Winston Solicitors held their 2023 Annual quiz, auction, and raffle. There was a whole host of amazing prizes up for grabs including a Range Rover weekend test drive and a signed Leeds United shirt! It was a wonderful evening, and a lovely opportunity to get together with other local groups and businesses from across Leeds, to celebrate and raise money for some wonderful causes.
In total they raised an amazing £6,152.84 which was split between us and Saint Michael’s Hospice- another incredibly deserving local charity. To put it into perspective, the money we received could cover the cost of an entire term of our Sibling’s club, which provides siblings of young people with a learning disability a safe space where they can have fun, receive support, and make friends with peers who understand what they’re going through.
“Winston Solicitors have been proud supporters of Leeds Mencap for many years. Each year, with fantastic community collaboration we have held a quiz to raise much needed funds. We are thankful to be in a position that enables us to fundraise knowing the difference it makes to the people and families that Leeds Mencap support.”- Jonathan Winston, Managing Partner at Winston Solicitors
“We are incredibly grateful for the support that Winston Solicitors have shown and continue to show us. As one of our most long-standing corporate partners, their generous donations have allowed us to make a real difference to the lives of children with learning disabilities and their families across Leeds for many years.”- Abi Hart, Senior Fundraiser at Leeds Mencap
