A festive fundraiser supported by family law firm Jones Myers has raised £3,000 for Henshaws, a charity that supports people living with a range of disabilities to discover and develop their talents.
The funds were generated through Henshaws’ Christmas Fair, a family-focused event featuring stalls showcasing Artmakers’ creativity and handmade gifts.
Jones Myers contributed by purchasing and wrapping presents, which were handed out to children visiting Santa and Mrs Claus in a special grotto.
Flora Simpson, Henshaws Senior Philanthropy Manager, said:
“Our Christmas Fair was an enormous success in every aspect with a wonderful festive atmosphere. Enormous thanks to Jones Myers, our fellow business partners, and our team for their fabulous contribution.
“As a charity, Henshaws relies heavily on fundraising donations and gifts-in kind to help us achieve our ambitious goals and we appreciate and value all the support we receive.”
Henshaws works with people with a wide range of disabilities, supporting them to put their abilities into practice and realise their full potential. The charity relies on community fundraising and business partnerships to sustain and expand its services.
Jones Myers has supported Henshaws for several years, helping service users to access a variety of activities including volunteering opportunities, completing the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge, and supporting events such as Christmas fairs and beer festivals.
Kate Banerjee, Jones Myers Partner and Head of the Children’s Department, said:
“It is very uplifting to know that we are helping to fund materials so Artmakers can harness their talents in a community built around creativity, connection and inclusivity.
“We have seen the incredible results of their work over the years and never cease to be inspired by Henshaws inspirational support for its service users, including those with profound and multiple learning and physical difficulties.”
