Representatives from conveyancing firm, PCS Legal, presented a cheque to Papworth Trust in Basildon last week after exceeding its original fundraising target of £10,000.

The charity, which supports disabled individuals to achieve greater independence and equality, has been supported by PCS Legal for a decade, and the latest £15,000 donation will help to expand the facilities at the Basildon Centre.

Throughout 2024, team members participated in a variety of challenges including climbing Snowdon, swimming the Serpentine, running marathons, cycling events, and hosting golf days.

Future fundraising

Stuart Forsdike, Founding Partner of PCS Legal, commented: “I’ve been blown away by the dedication of my team this year in taking part in the events we have organised, as well as the generosity of our clients and supporters.

“Surpassing our original goal and raising £15,000 is testament to what can be achieved when a community comes together for a great cause. We had a fantastic afternoon celebrating this milestone with Papworth Trust and seeing first-hand the impact these funds will have.

“We are already planning lots of fundraising throughout 2025 including The London Marathon, Vitality London 10k, quiz nights, and our third annual golf day.”

Maggie Blackburn, Service Manager for Papworth Trust Basildon Centre, added: “We are beyond grateful for the incredible efforts of PCS Legal. Their support over the years has been invaluable, and this latest fundraising achievement will directly benefit the individuals we support at our Basildon Centre.”
