£5,600 raised in 50th anniversary year
STAFF at a Southampton-based law firm celebrated a year’s worth of fundraising for charity in style.
As part of Eric Robinson Solicitors’ 50th anniversary, employees embarked on a series of events including a 50-mile bike ride, a golf day and the Great South Run.
The money will go to Wessex Heartbeat’s High Five appeal which aims to create a ward and living area at Southampton General Hospital for youngsters with heart problems.
The Daily Echo-backed appeal hopes to raise £500,000 and Eric Robinson fundraising efforts have raised more than £5,600.
Wessex Heartbeat chief executive Alison Farrell said: “It’s a great local company helping a great local cause and we are extremely grateful.”
