Palmers Solicitors has recommitted to providing the best possible support to those living with dementia and their families, by training the new staff within its Older Client team as Dementia Friends.
Dementia Friends is an Alzheimer’s Society initiative that aims to promote knowledge about the different forms of dementia. The majority of Palmers Solicitors’ older client team are Dementia Friends and, following the recent expansion of the team, we invited Gillian Gibson, an Alzheimer’s Society volunteer, to provide an information session.
A pancake-themed fundraiser raised hundreds of pounds for a local hospice charity.
The event, which included a pancake race, was held by Palmers Solicitors at our South Woodham Ferrers offices. The event raised £200 for the Farleigh Hospice in Chelmsford through donations from staff, clients and contacts who attended.
A slice of Hollywood big-screen glamour is enjoyed by the community in South Woodham Ferrers, thanks to the town’s monthly Champion Film Club, which is sponsored by Palmers Solicitors.
The club is held at the Town Council on the second Wednesday of each month. Doors open at 12.30pm for tea, coffee and biscuits, with films starting at 1.30pm.
Members of our Wills, Trusts and Probate department supported Dementia Awareness Day on Friday 20 January. Members of the team also signed up as Dementia Friends and wore blue to raise awareness of the condition.
Members of our team wore Christmas jumpers to work, with each making a donation to St Luke’s Hospice in Basildon. A total of £314.35 was raised by staff, through the donations as well as a raffle and a competition to win prizes.
Our company supported the creativity of local schoolchildren for our 2016 Christmas card design. Designs created by pupils from Treetops School in Thurrock were used for our annual Christmas e-card.
First prize was awarded to Will Stanley, aged 8, second prize was awarded to Vincent Spencer, aged 6, third prize went to William Bates, aged 10, and fourth prize went to Madeleine Davis, also aged 10.
