This is the third time in less than a year that the law firm has helped raise money for Barnardo’s. Following a half-marathon and a charity zip-wire. They also donated 40 gift boxes at Christmas to the local Newport Young Carers, a Barnardo’s run project, as well as Easter Eggs donated by the staff. Overall, QS hpjv has raised £855 for the children’s charity.

Louise Shortman, one of the firm’s Solicitors who organised the event, said; “It was a challenge getting to the top, but all involved really enjoyed the day and loved that they were contributing to the great work that Barnardo’s does for children across the country”.

“We are already looking into future fundraising opportunities as a firm.”

Dylan Carroll, Senior Relationships Manager at Barnardo’s, said; “We’d like to thank QS hpjv for all the hard work they have done over the last year to support their local Barnardo’s projects and initiatives.
