In 2014 our founding Partner, Stuart Forsdike, chose to make The Papworth Trust our charity partner – not just because he is passionate about their cause, but also because 100% of the money raised goes directly towards the charity. More specifically, the funds go to the Papworth Basildon Centre, which is local to our head office.

The Papworth Trust supports adults with physical disabilities, learning difficulties, and those with profound and complex needs, to live as independently as possible. Their mission is to provide disabled people with equality, choice and independence.

In the time Papworth have been our charity partner, we have raised over £15,000 for them through marathons, cycle rides, golf days and all sorts of staff events. This year, we pledged to raise £10,000 in 2024 to mark the 10 years of our partnership with the Trust.

In order to achieve our goal, we scheduled The Second PCS Legal Annual Charity Golf Day, a climb up Snowdon, a Big Quiz Night, The Cambridge Half Marathon, The London Big Half Marathon, and The Ford Ride London cycle event, all in 2024.

We visit the Basildon centre regularly, and it is astounding to see the real impact and differences the money we raise makes to the everyday lives of their customers. The £10,000 will help them towards building an Independent Living Unit at the centre, enabling customers to learn how to provide for themselves in every aspect of their home life, which will be an essential way of helping them achieve independence.

We are incredibly proud to announce that we have already raised the £10,000, but if you would like to make a further donation you can visit our official JustGiving page here.
