We were recently delighted to hear that Leeds-based commercial law firm, Walker Morris, had chosen to support us as their ‘Charity of the Year’.

Only weeks in, the team have already participated in the Abbey Dash in Leeds, raised money through a Halloween-themed Day… and they’re about the launch their Christmas Raffle! And they haven’t stopped there, having recently donated selection boxes, which will be given to children at our Families’ Christmas Party in December. Walker Morris staff members will even be helping out at the party as well!

Candlelighters Corporate Fundraiser Brian Curran has said: “What a great start to what will be a fantastic corporate partnership. As well as raising money, the firm are helping to raise awareness of our work and are getting to see what we do through volunteering with us”.

Would your company like to support Candlelighters in 2017? Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with Brian on 0113 322 9283.
