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.

Winston Solicitors was recommended to me, as this was my first time buying a house and didn’t know what to expect. They made the process very easy and I did not have to worry about any of the process as I got to track it every step of the way. Samantha also kept me updated and any queries were replied to promptly. I will definitely be using again in the future and recommend everyone I know.
Mr Michel
I can’t speak highly enough of Sidraa at Winston Solicitors for her exceptional support throughout my house purchase. From start to finish, she has been absolutely brilliant. Her prompt responses, attention to detail, and professionalism made a stressful process feel manageable and smooth. This is actually the second time I’ve used Winston Solicitors, and once again, they have been great. Consistent, reliable, and professional and Sidraa in particular truly went above and beyond. She was always kind, polite, and incredibly approachable, nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Even when dealing with a particularly difficult chain and the added pressure of a new stamp duty deadline, she worked tirelessly to get everything done on time. She responded to queries even out of hours, always called back when she said she would, and genuinely made me feel like a priority. What really stood out to me was her dedication — despite having preplanned annual leave for Eid, she still tried to keep things moving, which shows how committed she is to her clients. Her communication was clear and consistent, and she made a complex process feel a lot less daunting. I felt fully supported and in safe hands throughout. If you're looking for a solicitor who is professional, caring, and truly exceptional at what she does, Sidraa at Winston Solicitors is the one to go to. I’m incredibly grateful for everything she did and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again or recommend her to others. - April 2025

I would really like to thank both Amr and his assistant Joe. Throughout the whole process they kept me informed, nothing was ever too much. I am a first time buyer, this was a very stressful time but both members of staff made me feel at ease that it would get sorted. Thank you so much both!

Leasa and Julie were fantastic at helping us buy and sell our house. They were punctual, and kept us up to date with what was going on. Their online platform was clear to follow. Leasa's email response time was rapid, this was incredibly valuable. - March 2025
