Over £5,450 has been donated to Wigan and Leigh Hospice today by the kind-hearted staff at Stephensons Solicitors LLP.
The law firm asks staff to vote for their favourite charity each year and each of the 400 staff took part in fundraising efforts across the 12 months to raise £5,457.48 for the hospice.
Monthly dress down days contributed much to the final total, as did a charity quiz attended by almost 100 staff, Halloween events, book and cake sales, midnight walks and much more.
Wigan and Leigh Hospice provides specialist care, for those who are at the end of their life, to hundreds of people every year. It’s a registered charity, funded mainly through the donations and support of local people.
Neal Boland, pictured, Stephensons’ senior partner, said: “What a great effort by our staff. Wigan and Leigh Hospice is a vital local resource for many local families, including many of our staff whose family and friends have sought respite there. We’re thrilled to be able to make such a large donation to a local charity which gives so much to the people it serves.”
