Law firm staff raises hundreds for worthy causes

Staff at law firm Smith Partnership have raised hundreds of pounds for two worthy causes, including RSPCA Derby.

The firm’s Derby head office raised £620.40 for The Air Ambulance Service and the RSPCA, following a year of coordinated fundraising activity led by dedicated ‘charity champions’.

The total was achieved through a range of initiatives, including raffles, bake sales, the firm’s annual quiz and more.

The fundraising was led by Sophie Shapcott, Yasmin Russell, Nicole Saroglou, Ella Davis, Zoe Harrington and Martina Singh – who organised events and encouraged engagement across the wider team.

In addition to office-based initiatives, colleagues also supported a number of individual and community-led activities.

Sophie Shapcott, marketing manager and one of the Derby charity champions, said: “This has been one of our most successful years for fundraising, and that really comes down to the collective effort across the office.

“What has stood out to me is the dedication of the charity champions – the team approach every event with such passion and enthusiasm and really care about the causes we support.”
