Wednesday 4 March: Leeds Mencap Apprentice - Team Winston launch day

When Leeds Mencap approached us to take part in their Apprentice Challenge, it was an opportunity to be grabbed. And what better way to start the fundraising ball rolling than with a team photo - in a ball pool!

Team Winston are looking to turn their initial £50 loan into a handsome profit to hand over to Leeds Mencap. We can't reveal all our plans just yet, incase the other Apprentice Challenge teams taking part pick up any ideas. Watch this space . . .

We are launching in our usual style with a Bake-Off, so more photos and updates to follow shortly.

Thursday 5 March: Spring-themed Bake Off

We're starting the fundraising in our usual fashion, with a Spring-Themed Baked-Off! Thanks to all the staff here at Winston Solicitors who baked, and of course to all the staff who have paid to taste and judge. Well done to Lynn Wallis and Vicki Price for your winning entries.

Quiz Mania

Our next event will be Quiz Mania on Thursday 23 April starting at 6.30pm. Only £20 per team (max 6 people per team). Entry details herehttps://www.winstonsolicitors.co.uk/blog/5th-annual-quiz-aid-leeds-mencap

Thanks to everyone who came to our Quiz night. 21 teams, that's over 110 people came to take part in our quiz. Paul Grindley played the role of quiz master perfectly. Cath Lee filled us all in on Leeds Mencap and explained where the fundraising will go. Between the raffle and the chance to swop a question, plenty of money was raised for the Apprentice Challenge.

Congratulations to the winning team The Inbetweeners AKA Ashcourt Rowan. Just one point ahead meant they took home the medals!

Client feedback

Found Emily to be very Professional, whilst keeping things Personal. I was clear on what I wanted and she took time to ensure that it truly was my what I wanted and not running away with my thoughts. She gave me space to think and BE SURE. On day of signing I felt so comfortable with all my decisions and have not worried. The peace I have is real. Thank you Emily. For both your Professionalism and Personal care.

Very happy with the Conveyancing service. Never struggled to get in contact with either Sam or Joe, always responsive and helpful. Excellent at keeping me updated, I have used Winstons before, and I would again!

We were put in touch with Winston Solicitors and Emily was appointed to our case in relation to the LPAs. She was very thorough and professional, and explained everything in a manner that was easy to understand.I have no hesitation in recommending Winston Solicitors.

Lennie

It was a pleasure to sell our property through Winston’s Solicitors, Joe Bright was thoroughly professional throughout the whole process. I will definitely use Joe and Winston’s again.

I would highly recommend Leasa. She was excellent throughout and had the patience to answer my questions and settle my worries as a first time buyer. I ended up pulling out of my first property but then buying a second instead and Leasa was very good at getting things sorted in a timely manner. She was very efficient and the online portal they used to keep me updated was excellent. I found they would always reply within 24-48 hours and I was also able to speak to Leasa directly when I had some concerns and wanted some advice. 10/10 service. Thank you so much to Leasa and the rest of the team too for helping me with my purchase and making it as least stressful as possible.
