It is testament to the volunteers and team at St Gemma’s Hospice that their Annual Art Exhibition continues to attract fantastic artists and so many visitors. Listening to the buzz and chatter around the room brings home how much of a well-loved event the exhibition has become.

Winston Solicitors once again sponsored the Patrons’ Evening, during which guests enjoyed the work on display, canapés and drinks, and the exhibition volunteers appreciated all the activity at the sales desk.

Almost 900 pieces of art were exhibited from which visitors were encouraged to vote for their favourite work. A delighted Helen Oxtoby, who paints under the name of Pipox Art, received the most votes, and was presented with The Suzanne Winston Award for Best In Show.

Helen sold the majority of her show pieces, the most popular of which were of the method ‘thrown art’, a style which truly makes each piece unique and gives life and depth to the subjects.

The four day exhibition and sale raised an incredible £28,000, a vital contribution to the daily running costs at St Gemma’s Hospice.

Client feedback

Fantastic service - super efficient, no nonsense, quick and communicative. I own and run a Leeds-based Estate Agency and we've tried and tested many many conveyancing solicitors and I can honestly say, Winstons (Samantha and team in particular) are amongst the best! Thanks so much for your help with my recent property sale!

I would highly recommend Winston Solicitors! I was referred by my cousin who also had a fantastic experience. I can’t thank Samantha and Joe enough for their services from day one. They made the whole house buying process feel clear and much less daunting, which I particularly appreciated buying on my own for the first time. They were very responsive and went above and beyond to ensure that I completed on the day I had hoped. The attention to detail in the enquiries was particularly appreciated. Thank you!

Was assisted by Samira Cakali cannot fault her advice one bit. Knew exactly what steps to take to ensure a quick, clean and lucrative exit. I would recommend Winstons Solicitors to anyone seeking advice or action regarding employment law.

Winston’s were easy to engage and provided clear and transparent information on the process and upfront costs. Once engaged they were responsive and simple to work with. In particular Sidraa was excellent to work with, she was quick to respond and helpful. I was very appreciative of the efficiency and pace with which we progressed.

I found Winstons to be a highly professional, efficient and compassionate firm of solicitors. The original estimate of fees for dealing with a complex probate matter including the sale of a property and dealing with inheritance tax proved to be very close to the final amount charged. At all stages throughout the process I was kept well informed of progress and was consulted whenever necessary. All correspondence was polite and pertinent, and my wishes were acted upon promptly. I would have no hesitation in recommending Winstons to others and would readily use their services myself in the future should the need arise.
