Law firm announces charity support

Nelsons has announced the charities it will be supporting over the coming year.

Each year the law firm supports three charities local to its offices in Derby. Leicester and Nottingham.

This year, it will be supporting Lamp, a mental health charity in Leicester, Hayward House, a palliative care facility part of the Nottingham Hospitals Charity, and Nightingale Macmillan Unit in Derby, which supports end-of-life care.

Stewart Vandermark, chief executive at Nelsons, said: “40 years ago this year, Nelsons had just been founded and was a small law firm that understood the importance of being active in the community and helping others.

“As we’ve grown, this has remained a central part of who we are, so the annual initiative is very important to all our staff.

“I am always proud of the support and enthusiasm from our staff, who actively get involved and think up new ideas to raise awareness and funds for such worthy causes.

“Last year, we managed to raise almost £8,000 across our three offices for our chosen charities, which we hope to surpass this year.”
