STAFF at Worcestershire law firm Harrison Clark have raised thousands of pounds for its charitable trust over the past three months.

An annual golf day at Blackwell Golf Course, Bromsgrove, raked in more than £4,000 and the paralegal trainee group at Harrison Clark raised more than £500.

Dotty for the day, a guess-the-sweets-in-the-jar competition and a rugby world cup sweepstake were just a few of the events to be organised by the paralegal team working across Harrison Clark’s offices in Worcester, Cheltenham, Hereford and Ross-on-Wye.

The Dotty day involved all staff being asked to wear an item of spotty clothing and donate £1 for the privilege, with more than £90 being raised. Just over £70 was collected from the sweets-in-the-jar competition and £35 for the rugby world cup sweepstake.

The kind-hearted lawyers also raised more than £600 at a VIP evening which was held at House of Fraser, CrownGate, Worcester.

Cash raised from each event will go to the Harrison Clark Charitable Trust, which was set up in 2007 to allow the firm to give back to communities and good causes. Those already supported include Friends of the Elderly, the Elgar School of Music and Oxfam.

Rhian Banks, a trainee solicitor at Harrison Clark, said: “We regularly hold events to benefit various charities throughout the UK, but with emphasis on charities local to our offices in the three counties area.”
