Essex-based Palmers Solicitors is getting in the festive spirit to support the children’s wards at its local hospital trust.
The firm is once again stepping up for its long-term chosen charity, the Polly Parrot Appeal, with a very special ‘Guess The Name’ competition, featuring a fantastic Christmas teddy!
Open to all staff across the firm’s five offices and clients who wish to participate, the competition will be open until 20 December, when the bear’s identity will be revealed.
All proceeds will go towards the appeal, run by the Basildon and Thurrock University Hospital to support paediatric patients and services, including children’s oncology and the neonatal intensive care unit.
The appeal also funds support for children visiting loved ones or being seen as outpatients.
Gina Newman, Practice Manager, said: “We’re long-time supporters of the Polly Parrot Appeal and we know that it’s particularly important at this time of year, when it’s exceptionally difficult for children to be spending time in hospital.
“This competition is shaping up to be lots of fun, as well as an excellent opportunity for us to show our support for the incredible work that Basildon and Thurrock Hospitals do for the community and for children who need their help.
“A huge thank you to everyone who has helped set it up and taken part so far – we look forward to announcing the winner and finding out what we have raised for our charity partner!”
