A CROWTHORNE charity that helps seriously ill children and their families is one of 13 good causes to receive a share of funds from a national law firm.
Colleagues at Irwin Mitchell selected Sebastian’s Action Trust, in addition to hospitals and an air ambulance service to share in a £220,000 donation from its charitable foundation.
The 13 good causes selected will each receive grants of up to £20,000 to aid in everything from improving wellbeing, to supporting access to employment, justice and education.
Irwin Mitchell said that many of its colleagues and families have connections to chosen groups, and have seen first-hand the vital services they perform in the communities in which they operate.
These grants follow the IMCF donations made to foodbanks and homeless charities every winter, which this year saw £137,500 go to 28 good causes over the festive period.
Adrian Budgen, a partner and founding IMCF trustee at Irwin Mitchell, said: “It’s great to see that, after nearly 30 years, Irwin Mitchell colleagues continue to help the IMCF deliver vital support to the good causes which are close to their hearts and make a big difference in the communities in which we all live and work.
“The help these charities have given to many of our colleagues and to our communities really brings home how much these wonderful organisations do for all of us daily and how much harder life would be without their valuable work.
“Given the current cost-of-living crisis, these community grants have never been more important. We remain absolutely committed to playing our part in ensuring these charities receive the support and recognition they deserve.”
