Care conference supports local charities

An annual childcare conference organised by Timms Solicitors has raised hundreds of pounds for two local charities.

The conference for fellow professionals, which took place at Derby County’s Pride Park Stadium, focused on the impact of family proceedings on siblings and how they are treated by the legal system.

The not-for-profit event raised £500, which has been split between the Derby and Burton Child Contact Centres, where non-resident parents or grandparents and their children can meet, play and interact.

Fiona Moffat, managing partner at Timms who presented the cheques, said: “This was the largest care conference that we have organised to share key topical knowledge across the profession, giving advice and understanding to help everyone in their day-to-day jobs.

“Timms always donate to a charity as part of this event, and we were delighted to again support Derby and Burton Child Contact Centres who have a very important role to play in the childcare system.”
