We were delighted to receive this “thank-you” from Sawston Village college where Adams Harrison sponsored the Sportsperson Of The Year award 2017.
It was our absolute pleasure to support such a worthwhile event.
One of our solicitors, Dawn Staal, who took part in the Pretty Muddy fund raising for Cancer Research – Dawn raised well over £200.00 for the cause.
Thank you to the partners for donating to this worthy cause in return for my sporting the Adams Harrison T Shirt. Thank you also to those of you who also donated.
I had a lot of fun doing this and I am pleased to say that I completed ALL of the obstacles. I also got pretty muddy as you can see from the photos.
Hayley Ford of the Saffron Walden and Christine Gee of the Sawston offices participated in will writing for charity and raised a very good amount by giving their time for free and all amounts raised for the preparation of the Wills went to the Addenbrooke’s Charity.
Adams Harrison took part on the weekend of 8th July in the Saffron Walden Carnival (which, by all accounts, is second in size to the Notting Hill Carnival).
Their float was designed around the theme of “Adams Harrison has got Legal Talent” – based on the Britain’s Got Talent.
Afterwards Jenny Carpenter wrote;
“A huge thanks to everyone that took part in the Saffron Walden Carnival procession on Saturday. As you can see from the attached photos we completely transformed the lorry.
Thank you for giving up your time, especially early on a Saturday morning to get it all ready and the preparation that was done in advance by many.”

Adams Harrison participated and were one of the sponsors for the Sawston Fun Run again this year.
Here is a gallery of images of people before the event.
Adams Harrison received this thank you from EACH for a recent bag collection that they carried out. Whilst it refers to the Sawston office but that is purely because they were the collection point for all the bags from all three offices that contributed to the amount collected.
All staff had been given the opportunity to bake and we would then all purchase items and all proceeds to go to Red Nose Day collection.
Please check back next week when we will let you know the grand total of the baking fundraising and also in house raffle takings.
Adams Harrison choose to donate to local charities rather than sending cards out to clients and business associates at Christmas.
The amount of £350.00 was donated to Homestart Royston and South Cambridgeshire.

Thank you letter from Homestart Royston
Each year Emma Laidlaw delivers large boxes to each office and asks that we fill them with donations for the Haverhill Food Bank.
Emma then goes round and collects them up a couple of weeks later, and as you will see then delivers all the food we have collected to the Food Bank.
This year a total of 77kgs was donated by the three offices and delivered to the Food Bank by Emma.
Well done to Emma for organizing it all, and well done to the partners and staff of Adams Harrison for collecting such a large amount.
