The Winston Solicitors team once again took part in theLeeds MencapApprentice Challenge. Taking an initial loan of £50, each team was challenged to raise as much as possible for the Leeds charity over a six week period.

For Winston Solicitors, it was a firm wide effort with the catchphrase 'divide and conquer’, which clearly worked given our winning status!

We kicked off the fundraising period with a Cake For Cash day closely followed by a raffle. To really hot up the raffle sales, Jonathan incentivised staff with an extra day’s holiday for the most tickets sold. Laura Hitchen was the proud winner by selling a grand total of 113 to her family and friends.

Ourannual quiznight brought almost 100 people together to enjoy Paul’s eclectic quiz questions and bonus prizes.

After presenting the final cheque to Leeds Mencap for £1642.10 we were delighted to be presented with the winning trophy in return. Obviously it is the fundraising and taking part that counts, but we do like a ‘win win’ situation!

Client feedback

I was recommended James Urquhart-Burton by a legal friend to support with my husband's CHC funding and I felt very supported straight away from my first email and subsequent conversations. James is very approachable, down to earth and knowledgable. I was in very good hands and we were eventually awarded full CHC funding with James ensuring that all aspects were fully covered right down to the fine details, securing the right outcome for our family. I would highly recommend James & the team at Winstons Solicitors to any family wanting support with navigating the complicated pathway of CHC funding.

Winston's location is easy for me to get to & the off-road parking is much appreciated. Ms Emily Spencer handled the matter of my Will. Emily was professional, courteous and offered much appropriate advice. Overall, a somewhat sombre matter was dealt with to my full satisfaction.

I had an excellent experience with Winston Solicitors and highly recommend them. A huge thank you to Olivia Cooke and Amanda Lester for their exceptional service. They were incredibly responsive, never kept me waiting, and took the time to explain every small detail clearly. Professional, efficient, and thoroughly reliable! I couldn’t have asked for better support!
