Worcester law firm mfg Solicitors has raised a total of £2,579 for local charity St Richard’s Hospice.
Staff at The Tything-based firm raised £1,579 over the past year through a number of activities and events, including a karaoke evening and a 10km run. A further £1,000 was also donated by the Trustees of the mfg Charitable Foundation.
The Worcester team, who selected St Richard’s as their chosen charity for 2024/25, also held an Easter raffle, cake sales and dress down days.
Sharon Lerry, Chair of the CSR committee at mfg Solicitors said: “Our team in Worcester had a brilliant year of fundraising and taking part in a variety of activities. St Richard’s Hospice is a charity which touched all our hearts and the work they do to support patients and their families in need is amazing.
“The donation will be put to good use and importantly, help give more support to those who need it most. We’re delighted to have been involved and play our part.”
Ria Simons, Corporate Fundraising Lead from St Richard’s Hospice added: “It was extremely humbling when mfg Solicitors chose us for their office charity. Since then, Sharon and the team have kept us updated on the huge range of fantastic events staff have been holding throughout the year.
“To be presented with a cheque for almost £2,600 really is amazing and I can’t thank everyone at mfg enough for their passion and support. Like all charities, we rely on donations so the funding from them will help us to continue supporting more people and their families in and around Worcester.”
St Richard’s Hospice offers free, expert care and support for adults with an illness that cannot be cured, which includes cancer and neurological, respiratory, cardiac and renal conditions. They also support patients’ families and carers.
