Law firm Napthens has launched a new foundation to support causes across the North West.
With an aim to raise £15,000 in its first year, the foundation has been set up to provide relief to those in need by reason of education, youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.
The firm will support the foundation, through donations, help with event organisation, fundraising or promotion of events.
Inaugural appointees to the foundation’s committee, set to be reviewed on an annual basis, are made up of staff from Napthens’ regional offices, including HR and operations director, Nicola Mason and Clare Lennon, of Charities Trust.
Planning is underway to create events for the foundation.
Nicola said: “Napthens has been a long-standing supporter of many local charities, with our teams across the North West coming together to support important local causes.
“Many of our annual fundraising events, such as our clay pigeon shoots and cheese and wine events have become key dates in the calendar that our internal teams, clients and charity partners look forward to each year.
“The creation of this foundation will align our charitable efforts and make the greatest impact possible.”
