Cheshire law firm, SAS Daniels LLP, has revealed its staff have raised over £5,000 in 2024 through dedicated fundraising efforts for the firm’s chosen charity, Stockport and District Mind.
The full service law firm has a proud tradition of supporting local charities each year, with the latest beneficiary being Stockport and District Mind, an independent mental health charity.
Employees from the firm took on a range of physical challenges throughout 2024 to raise funds for Stockport and District Mind. A team of four attempted the Yorkshire Three Peaks, Challenge in adverse weather conditions, with Holly Wilkinson (pictured), Trainee Solicitor for the Stockport office completing the exceptionally tough feat in 11 hours and 46 minutes. Meanwhile, Matthew Ottley, a solicitor at SAS Daniels, participated in the demanding Athens Marathon, which features a demanding ascent of 21km.
Alongside their impressive physical challenges, colleagues at the firm raised additional funds through various creative activities. Fundraising events included bake sales, sunflower growing competitions, raffles, quizzes, table tennis tournaments, and a festive Christmas quiz, all with the shared goal of supporting Stockport and District Mind.
Jeremy Orrell, Chief Executive Officer at SAS Daniels, commented:
“To be able to give back to the local community is something we hold dear at SAS Daniels, and Stockport and District Mind is a remarkable charity that makes a real difference in the lives of so many. Raising such a significant amount of money is an outstanding achievement – the credit goes to the team who dedicated so much time and effort throughout the year to make this possible.”
Louise Gresty, Fundraising and Communications Manager at Stockport and District Mind said:
“We would like to thank the team at SAS Daniels for their dedication in raising so much money for us in order to continue to support mental health within the Stockport and Cheshire East community.
“As an independent charity entirely reliant on raising our own funds we could not run the services we provide without the kind generosity of organisations like SAS Daniels. It has truly been a pleasure to get to know and work with the team and we once again thank them for their fundraising efforts.”
