The Winston Solicitors Annual Quiz: Another Successful Charity Event in Support of Mencap

At Winston Solicitors, we believe in giving back to our community and supporting worthy causes. That's why we were thrilled, as always, to host the annual Winston Solicitors charity quiz night. All proceeds went to Leeds Mencap, a fantastic charity that works to support people with learning disabilities and their families.

The evening was filled with laughter, camaraderie, and some healthy competition as the teams battled it out to be crowned quiz champions. With rounds covering everything from trends and general knowledge to music and sport, there was something for everyone to enjoy. There was even a curveball picture round to add another layer of challenge.

Thanks to the generosity of our participants and the support of other businesses, we're delighted to announce that we raised £3,000 for Leeds Mencap. Every penny raised will go towards helping Leeds Mencap continue their vital work, providing support, advice, and services to those who need it most.

Who Are Leeds Mencap?

As a completely independent charity, Leeds Mencap was started over 70 years ago. Founded by people with learning disabilities, Leeds Mencap directly supports others with learning disabilities, and indirectly supports many who use their specialist equipment. The charity takes a holistic approach when providing support, giving much needed advice and long-term help to individuals and their families.

While Leeds Mencap is affiliated with the Royal Mencap Society, it is an independent entity. Which means that they need to source their own funding. So when it comes to fundraising, drumming up support from individuals, businesses and events like the Winston Solicitors Annual Quiz is incredibly important.

Thank You to All Who Helped and Took Part

Events like the Winston Solicitors Annual Quiz not only allow us to make a positive impact on our community but also provide an opportunity for us to come together outside of the office and strengthen our connections as a team. It's wonderful to see everyone rallying together for such a worthwhile cause, and we couldn't be prouder of what we’ve achieved.  

We'd like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the evening, whether by attending, donating, or helping to organise. Your support means the world to us and will make a real difference to the lives of those supported by Leeds Mencap.

Thanks also go to the venue, West Park Rugby Club, for hosting us and Paul Grindley for creating such an exciting set of quiz questions and delivering the quiz with much aplomb.

Many businesses donated some fantastic raffle prizes. Thank you to The Woods - Chapel Allerton, Leeds United Football Club, The Good Health Centre, Share Jewellers, Astonish, Chapel Allerton Pilates, The Leeds Deli, Debbie J Beauty, Dawn at Halo, Leeds Arts Centre and It’s the Beer Talking.

Here’s to Another Successful Quiz Next Year

As we reflect on the success of our charity quiz night, we're already looking forward to planning the next one for a special year in 2025. Thank you once again to everyone who played a part in this fantastic evening.

The Winston Solicitors Annual Quiz gets booked up really quickly, and this year was no different. So keep your eyes peeled for the 2025 announcement if you want to be in with a chance of taking part.

This team is really well organised, professional and thorough.My family have now used the Conveyancing service, both as Buyer and Seller, numerous times and have been extremely impressed and satisfied. They use simple and effective tools for great communication so you know the status at anytime and don't have to chase to find out. I would recommend Winston Solicitors without hesitation.

I have just purchased my first property and used Winston Solicitors after being recommended by my Mortgage Advisor. I dealt with Samantha and Michelle who were amazing throughout the whole journey. They kept me informed of all steps throughout and responded to any queries in a timely manner. They also had an app where you could see progress and what the next steps would be which helped a lot for someone who didn’t know what to do. From putting my offer in to completed took around 8 weeks (no chain). Would highly recommend and I will definitely use them again in the future.

Winston Solicitors were absolutely amazing! This was our second time moving house with Leasa and Julie and we genuinely cannot imagine the moving process without them! They were so friendly, kept us up to date throughout the whole process (without any legal jargon!) and kept communication open up and down the chain to ensure we had a quick and easy move (with 5 houses in the chain this was no mean feat!) Leasa and Julie went above and beyond, were always accessible via email and telephone, and there was never any need to “chase” because they were both so on top of everything! Words can’t express our gratitude for all the support they gave us in helping us move to our dream home. Thank you both so much!

Winston Solicitors have acted for me on many occasions for the conveyancing of property purchases and remortgages. I can't recommend Leasa Foster and her team enough. They make the transactions run very smoothly. They are clear with the information they provide to me, they are clear with the information they expect from me, and they are very thorough.
