In a heartening initiative for Valentine’s Day, Best Solicitors, a law firm based in Yorkshire, is joining efforts with the Sheffield charity, Support Dogs. This partnership underscores Best Solicitors’ dedication to community support through a special event that not only builds awareness but also drives contributions to a cause that significantly enhances lives.
On 14 February 2024, Best Solicitors will open its head office on West Street, Sheffield, for a charitable event centred around a complimentary will-writing service aimed at encouraging legacy donations to Support Dogs. This initiative serves as a dual opportunity for attendees to participate in the creation of their wills while directly contributing to a charitable endeavour.
Participants will have the unique opportunity to meet some of the assistance dogs who form the core of Support Dogs’ mission. The charity specialises in training these animals to offer critical support to individuals facing challenges such as autism, epilepsy, and physical disabilities. The presence of these trained dogs and their handlers will offer a poignant illustration of the tangible impacts of donations.
The event will also feature a cake sale, with all proceeds directed towards supporting the mission of Support Dogs. This charity focuses on improving the quality of life for its beneficiaries, many of whom rely profoundly on the crucial work done by these assistance animals. Notably, a significant portion of Support Dogs’ funding stems from wills and legacies, with one in three dogs funded this way.
Danny Anderson, head of fundraising at Support Dogs, expressed his gratitude for the partnership with Best Solicitors, calling it a ‘match made in heaven.’ As he highlights, both organisations are anchored in the local community and committed to leveraging their longstanding presence to effect positive change. Anne Rogers, director of wills and probate at Best Solicitors, echoed this sentiment, reaffirming their commitment to community well-being and charitable support.
Rogers shared that the inspiration behind this event was the profound impact of Support Dogs witnessed by the Best Solicitors team during a previous charity event. The law firm’s dedication to raising awareness and funds for Support Dogs is rooted in their recognition of the invaluable assistance these animals provide across various levels of vulnerability.
For those attending, the event promises not only the potential to engage with essential legal services but also an engaging opportunity to learn about and support a highly impactful local charity. Support Dogs will be present at Best Solicitors’ Sheffield branch from 1 am to 2 pm, providing a comprehensive insight into their work and ways the public can contribute.
This collaborative effort between Best Solicitors and Support Dogs exemplifies a meaningful partnership aimed at fostering community support and making a difference through thoughtful charitable activities.
