TWO charities that work across Reading and Wokingham will benefit from a two year partnership with a Thames Valley-based law firm.

Blandy & Blandy invited good causes to apply to be its new charity partners from July 1, and more than 50 did so. A shortlist was prepared and eventually they selected The Cowshed and Berkshire Women’s Aid.

Chairman and partner Nick Burrows, who specialises in advising clients in the charity sector, said: “All of our colleagues participated in the process to select our new adopted charities so thank you and well done to them on choosing two fantastic local charities in Berkshire Women’s Aid and The Cowshed.

“Both are doing very important work and, over time, supporting thousands of people in need who live in our local area. We look forward to raising much needed funds for our new charities and to helping in a variety of other ways.”

BWA’s chair of trustees, Margaret Rice-Jones, said: “We are delighted to be chosen by Blandy & Blandy as their charity of the year.

“Domestic abuse can have lasting consequences for survivors, children and the wider community and the partnership we will embark on with Blandy & Blandy will help us continue to deliver our high-quality and person-centred service to those who need it.”

And The Cowshed’s fundraising manager, Rebecca Mole, said: “We are thrilled to have been chosen as one of Blandy & Blandy’s adopted charities. Having support from such a prominent local business will help our charity continue to make a real difference to the lives of people in our community who are experiencing hardship. We are very grateful for this partnership”.

Blandy & Blandy has donated £25,000 to its outgoing charities, BIBS – Babies in Buscot Support and the Royal Berks Charity, with highlights including colleagues volunteering in the Royal Berkshire Hospital’s new health and wellbeing garden for NHS staff and taking part in last year’s Walk for Wards and the recent Reading Half Marathon.
