Fundraising success

Expectations were truly smashed following a successful fundraising event in aid of Leeds Mencap. We were delighted to once again hold our annual quiz and welcome 20 teams back for a night of brain teasing questions and laughter.

Along with the quiz, there was a raffle and auction, with prizes kindly donated by businesses, some of whom have been donating prizes and supporting the quiz since 2015. The auction included a signed Triathlon suit donated by Jonny Brownlee. 

Because we host the event, every penny of the £4,535 raised goes direct to Leeds Mencap making a difference to the lives of children and young people with learning disabilities and their families across Leeds.

Jonathan Winston, managing partner at Winston Solicitors, said “I am thrilled with the support our quiz has received. It shows what a great outcome can be achieved by bringing together businesses, colleagues and friends, to support this wonderful, local charity.”

I recently contracted Winston Solicitors to support me in obtaining a grant of probate following the death of a parent. I worked closely with Emily and found her to be supportive, have great communication and be able to navigate the IHT and probate processes very efficiently.

Absolutely exceptional service from start to finish. I will definitely be recommending you to others. Michelle was fantastic and eased me through the whole process. I had so many questions as a first time buyer, Michelle answered them all and responded quickly every time. Very happy - August 2025

We are greatful for Sam's and her team work. We don't believe buying or selling a house could be made any easier. Thank you! - August 2025

Was recommended by my Financial Advisor and was pleasantly surprised everything was dealt with efficiently and everyone I spoke to were kind courteous and knowledgeable I would have no hesitation in using their services again. - August 2025

When Mum needed the system most that she had been paying into all her life she was failed by countless people and departments, assessments not completed, lost files, appointments not kept, delay after delay and on. I had a gut feeling that procedures weren't being followed and began my quest for the truth in her memory. I found James at 'Winston Solicitors' who helped us take on the system and prove that Mum was indeed entitled to CHC Funding. Throughout the case he was relentless in his pursuit to seek out the truth and hold those accountable who failed Mum. He gave us regular updates and discussed every step with us along the way, I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone who has found themselves in this dreadful position in traumatic times with their loved ones. - August 2025
