UPDATE 42: CHARITY MATTERS

Hello

In this update, we're looking at these charity matters:

• leaving money to charity in your will.

WHAT MATTHEW HAS BEEN UP TO!

• Matthew has delivered 40 pumpkins donated by our partners to Fortalice ready for children’s Halloween activity sessions. We can't wait to see their creations! Matthew is seen pictured here with Grace Wood from Fortalice.

• Our Family Team are over the half way point in their Steps Challenge raising money for Sands, the stillbirth & neonatal death charity. They've completed over 928,626 steps out of their target 1.86 million for the month. We really could do with your support to raise £500 - if you can help, please make your donation here.

• Fieldings Porter's Beth Talbot ran the Manchester Half and raised £170 in sponsorship! She will be donating this to the North Lancashire and South Cumbria Breast Screening Service University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust.

• Matthew went along to help Fieldings Porter's David Darlington dish up lunch at Bolton Community Kitchen.

BOLTON LAW SOCIETY DINNER 2021
On Friday October 15, 2021, Bolton Law Society held the society's annual dinner, after the 2020 Annual Dinner had to be cancelled due to the pandemic.

The successful event was presided over by our very own Peter Cunliffe, Bolton Law Society President, and was attended by members from the local law firms making up the society's membership.

On the night, £860 was raised for the charity, Lagan's Foundation.

Huge congratulations also to Fieldings Porter's Beth Talbot who came third place in the Training Lawyer of the Year Award 2021, we're very proud of you!
