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 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.

David

Very good service at reasonable rates. They completed a Deed of Variation for me and I will certainly use them again for any further legal work.

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!
