‘Incredible dedication’ from Trethowans team who have raised £22k for charities in Hants & beyond

Central South law firm Trethowans has donated just over £22,000 split among its three chosen charities across Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset.

Now in their third year supporting the charity trio, Trethowans staff raised funds throughout 2023-24, with donations going to Mountbatten Hampshire, Salisbury Hospice and Dorset Mind.

Plenty took part across various distances in the ABP Southampton Marathon this April with the backing of friends of family.

Paul Longman, partner and head of commercial property, also participated in the Vosges Challenge 2023, riding over 550 miles from Ostende to Belfort, raising an additional £4,000.

The total put towards Mountbatten Hampshire came to £12,045.54 over course of the year, helping to sustain the charity’s crucial work in providing bereavement support and compassionate care to patients and their families during end-of-life treatment.

Salisbury Hospice received a donation of £7,395.55, with a team of Trethowans runners planning to run in the upcoming New Forest Marathon Event on 8 September 2024.

And Dorset Mind, the last of the firm’s three chosen charities, was given £7,395.55 to help bolster their efforts in promoting mental health awareness and providing vital support services to those in need within the community.

Maxine Read, who heads up the charities and CSR committee at Trethowans, said: “This year marks the third year of support for our chosen charities.

“Our team has shown incredible dedication to fundraising, with efforts continuing into 2024.

“In May, a Trethowans team took on the Jurassic Coast Ultra Challenge, walking 34km to 100km along the breathtaking coast.

“Their efforts raised a further £3,300 for Dorset Mind, a fantastic start to our third year of support.”

Trethowans partners also took part this year in a CSR day supporting Diverse Abilities, a Dorset charity for children and adults with profound physical and learning disabilities.
