A BROMSGROVE support charity has received a welcome donation of over £1,600 from a local law firm in the town.
Staff at mfg Solicitors raised a considerable sum of £605.50 for the Rose & Daisy Foundation which was then boosted by a further £1,000 from the trustees of the firm’s charitable foundation.
The Rose & Daisy Foundation supports families with children in intensive care and those who have experienced neonatal loss, stillbirth, or miscarriage. The charity was founded by Jamie and Hannah Peters in memory of their two daughters, Rose and Daisy.
Co-founder and Trustee, Jamie Rose from Rose & Daisy Foundation said: “It was extremely humbling when mfg Solicitors chose us for their office charity.
“Since then, Katie and the team have kept us updated on the huge range of fantastic events staff have been holding throughout the year.
“To be presented with a cheque for over £1,600 really is amazing and I can’t thank Katie and everyone at mfg enough for their passion and support.
“Like all charities, we rely on donations so the funding from them will help us to continue supporting more people in and around Bromsgrove.”
To chip in, staff took part in a number of activities and events including completing 10,318 minute of activity in their Road to the Commonwealth challenge – a minute for every mile between former host cities of the games Australia and Birmingham.
The Bromsgrove team, who selected the Rose & Daisy Foundation as their chosen charity for 2024/25, also held raffles, quiz events, cake sales, an Easter Egg decorating competition, and a silent auction, whilst also braving the St Basils Big Birmingham Sleep Out last winter.
Katie Stubbs, a paralegal at mfg Solicitors in Bromsgrove said: “Our team here in Bromsgrove had a brilliant year of fundraising and taking part in a variety of activities.
“The Rose & Daisy Foundation is a charity which touched all our hearts and the work they do to support families in need is amazing.
“This includes initiatives like their Wellbeing Box which helps aid families in grief and gives a feeling of normality.
“The donation will be put to good use and importantly, help give more support to those who need it most. We’re delighted to have been involved and play our part.”
