Boosting Festive cheer for an inspirational charity

Jones Myers has helped to boost the festive spirit for disabled Artmakers at Henshaws which enhances the quality of life for over 8,000 service users with sight loss and wide-ranging disabilities.

The firm’s deep-rooted ethos of giving back to its local communities has entailed its family lawyers purchase and wrap an assortment of children’s presents for the charity’s forthcoming Christmas Fair.

Monies raised from the vibrant event at Henshaws’ Arts & Crafts centre will go towards valuable materials to help the centre’s talented Artmakers achieve their potential.  

Kate Banerjee, Jones Myers Partner and Head of the Children’s Department, said: “Our Harrogate team loved wrapping the presents designed for children aged three to nine – it Is always a pleasure to support Henshaws’ wide-ranging initiatives and to know that we are helping to make a difference.

“The charity’s commitment and support for its service users, including those with profound and multiple learning and physical difficulties, is truly inspirational. “

The Christmas Fair, a fun-packed, family event, features stalls showcasing Artmakers handmade gifts. Activities and highlights include Christmas cookie decorating, wreath-making workshop, festive food and drink – and a special visit from Santa and Mrs Claus who will distribute the presents.

Flora Simpson, Henshaws Senior Philanthropy Manager, said: “We are extremely appreciative of the valuable support from Jones Myers and our fellow business partners. As a charity, Henshaws relies heavily on fundraising donations and gifts-in kind to help us achieve our ambitious goals. We welcome everyone to join us this Saturday and immerse themselves in the seasonal spirit! ”

In recent years Jones Myers initiatives to help Henshaws service users achieve a fulfilling life have included a Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge, supporting Christmas Fairs, and fundraising for  Henshaws Beer Festival.
