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

I chose Winston Solicitors to deal with my wife's estate on the recommendation of a family member. I was very satisfied with the friendly attitude of the team. Everything was dealt with as quickly as possible bearing in mind that some documents needed to dealt with by a family member in America. i was kept informed of progress every step of the way. Wonderful service.

Michelle and Aishah were both very professional and helpful. This wasn't a straightforward conveyance but they had the relevant expertise to complete the sale without a problem.

I used Winston Solicitors to sell our house and they were brilliant. Amr dealt with all the paperwork quickly and kept us updated the whole time. They made the entire sale smooth and stress free. We would definitely use them again and recommending them to family and friends.
