Charity & Sponsorships
Our Charity Partner - Papworth Trust
In 2014 our founding Partner, Stuart Forsdike, chose to make Papworth Trust our charity partner – not just because he is passionate about their cause, but also 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.
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 10 years, we have raised over £30,000 for Papworth through marathons, cycle rides, golf days and all sorts of staff events.
n 2024, we pledged to raise £10,000 throughout the year to mark the 10 years of our partnership with Papworth. To achieve our goal, we organised a Golf Day, a climb up Snowdon, and a quiz night, and our staff participated in The Cambridge Half Marathon, The London Big Half Marathon, and The Ford Ride London cycle event - totalling an incredible amount of £22,000 raised 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 money we raised in 2024 will fund a Games Room at the centre, offering disabled customers a space to foster relaxation, boost social interaction, and encourage focus—all while delivering fun and laughter. It aligns perfectly with PCS Legal’s values: prioritising mental health and having fun while making a difference.

In honour of our fundraising, we are proud to have won Best Industry Supplier at the 2024 Agents Giving Awards, and Highly Commended for Corporate Partner of the Year at The Chartered Institute of Fundraising 2024 East Anglia Regional Awards.
PCS Legal Charity Golf Day
At PCS Legal, we are proud to support Papworth Trust through our Annual Charity Golf Day. This event brings together clients, partners, and golf enthusiasts for a day of fun, competition, and fundraising for an incredible cause.
Over the past two years, our Golf Day has made a significant impact:
2023: Held at Warley Park Golf Club, we raised over £1,500.
2024: Once again at Warley Park, our event grew even bigger, raising over £4,000. Attendees enjoyed a schedule featuring a silent auction, a raffle, a winners' trophy ceremony, and a breakfast and dinner.
We are excited to announce our third annual Golf Day, taking place on Friday, 25th July 2025. The venue will be confirmed soon, and we look forward to hosting another fantastic event.
If you would like to join us on the day, sponsor the event, or support our fundraising efforts, please email us at marketing@pcslegal.co.uk.

Food Banks
As well as our continuous fundraising for Papworth, every year our Basildon, Wickford and Rayleigh offices hold a food drive for the Trussell Trust Basildon foodbank, and our Ongar office donates their collection to Streets2Homes. We understand how important their work is for the 1 in 5 people in the UK living below the poverty line.
In 2023, the Basildon Foodbank gave 2042 three-day emergency food supplies in crisis. To find out how you can help, you can visit their website here.
Streets2Homes is a Harlow-based charity that supports homeless people in the area, preventing over 72 homeless cases and making over 222 outreach visits. For more information, you can visit the Streets 2 Homes website.
