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

As a first time solo buyer, I had no idea what I was doing with buying a house. Samantha at Winston Solicitors was incredible, her and her team explained everything and everytime I had a question (which was often) they responded quickly and in a way that was easy to explain. Using Winston Solicitors made the house buying process so easy and quick, from the initial viewing of the house to completion, it was only 12 weeks! After hearing horror stories of a long buying process, I couldn't be more happy to have worked with an amazing company! If you are looking for a solicitor for your house purchase, I would highly recommend Winston Solicitors!

We recently worked with Leasa Foster at Winston Solicitors as our solicitor for purchasing our new home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Leasa was incredibly professional, thorough, and proactive throughout the entire process. She kept us informed at every stage, explained everything clearly, and always responded quickly to our questions — no matter how small.Buying a house can be stressful, but Leasa made the whole journey smooth and straightforward. Her attention to detail and calm, reassuring approach gave us complete confidence that we were in safe hands.We are truly grateful for her support and highly recommend Leasa Foster and Winston Solicitors to anyone looking for an efficient and reliable conveyancing solicitor.

Very handy as a local north Leeds firm, no need to travel to Leeds. Understood exactly what we required and prepared the documents carefully and quickly. Kept us informed as to progress throughout. I would recommend them for any private client work.

Didn’t have a single issue with Keertan, she was lovely and explained the process very clearly. Kept me updated at every stage and was very helpful.
