A BIRKENHEAD law firm has raised more than £3,200 for children's charity Stick 'n' Step by taking part in a boat race on the River Dee and climbing Mount Snowdon.

Staff from Your Legal Friend took part in the Chester Dragon Boat Festival last month to help the Liscard-based organisation that works with children and young people with cerebral palsy in the North West and North Wales.

Julia Bond, HR Adviser at the company, said: "We regularly undertake fundraising activity and try to get involved with organisations in the local area.

"The challenges we chose this year have been tough but the amount raised has made it all worthwhile.

"Stick 'n' Step do a fantastic job and I'm sure that we’ll be supporting them again in the future."

Hettie Miles, Fundraiser, from Stick ‘n’ Step said: "We are delighted with the amount raised by the team at Your Legal Friend which will make a significant difference to so many youngsters and their families.

"We rely heavily on kind-hearted firms and individuals to raise vital funds that allow us to carry out our important work across the North West and Wales.

"On behalf of all of the staff and the people who use our service I’d like to thank everyone who participated."
