Festive Fundraiser for disabled Artmakers hailed ‘Tree-mendous’ success

Our firm is delighted to have helped enhance the quality of life for disabled Artmakers by contributing presents for a festive fundraiser.

Support from Jones Myers has helped to raise £3,000 for Henshaws which supports people living with a range of disabilities to discover their talents, put them into practice – and realise their full potential.

The Christmas Fair, a fun-packed, colourful family event, went down a treat with stalls showcasing Artmakers’ creativity and handmade gifts. The presents purchased and wrapped by our Harrogate team were given out to excited children visiting  Santa and Mrs Claus 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.”    

In recent years Jones Myers has been pleased to help Henshaws service users to achieve a fulfilling life with a variety of activities including volunteering, completing a Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge and supporting Henshaws 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.”
