Both are incredible local charities, providing vital support, care and resources for their local communities at what is the most difficult time of their lives, both for the patient and their family. I hope we will raise a significant amount of funds for both charities, and are grateful to everyone donating raffle prizes and those buying tickets to join us at our flagship, glamorous Ball.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dan Powell, NCC Venue Manager of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalconferencecentre.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The National Conference Centre<\/a>, adds: \u201cThe event brings together local businesses and community leaders for what will be an evening of fun and important<\/p>\n<p>fundraising in support of two local charities. In particular, this collaborative initiative highlights the commitment for all the organisations involved to give back to their local community and support those who need it most. The evening will also be a great opportunity to connect with fellow professionals who share a passion for making a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From its Hospice on Marsh Lane, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mariecurie.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marie Curie<\/a> Solihull helps people with an illness they\u2019re likely to die from, and the people close to them, receive specialist care and support for free. This includes Alzheimer\u2019s and other forms of dementia, heart, liver or kidney and lung disease, motor neurone disease, Parkinson\u2019s and advanced cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Its Community Fundraiser (West Midlands) Ben Thomas says: \u201cWe are delighted to be Sydney Mitchell\u2019s chosen charity for 2025\/26. The firm\u2019s ongoing support makes a vital contribution to closing the gap in end-of-life care. Every five minutes, someone, somewhere in the UK, dies without the care and support they need, but the money raised across the year will go directly to providing essential local services. Sydney Mitchell\u2019s generosity will ensure more people receive the end-of-life care they deserve, and that their loved ones can find comfort and support from accessing Marie Curie services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sydney Mitchell has supported <a href=\"https:\/\/solihullcarers.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carers Trust Solihull<\/a> charity for several years. The organisation provides vital help and support to carers in and around Solihull who are caring for loved ones with dementia, physical or mental health issues, or learning disabilities. A representative of Carers Trust Solihull says: \u201cThanks to our meaningful partnership with Sydney Mitchell, we continue to provide life-changing support and opportunities for carers, empowering them to thrive, not just survive. We are deeply grateful for Sydney Mitchell\u2019s enduring support and proud to call them not just partners, but champions of our cause. Their commitment uplifts everything we do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For information and tickets \u2013 both individual and for tables of 10 \u2013 for the Charity Ball, email Angela Howard: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.solihullobserver.co.uk\/cdn-cgi\/l\/email-protection#40216e282f37213224003339242e25392d29342328252c2c6e232f6e352b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[email\u00a0protected]<\/a> and visit: S<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/e\/sydney-mitchell-llp-charity-ball-2025-tickets-1292817063639?aff=oddtdtcreator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ydney Mitchell LLP Charity Ball 2025 Tickets, Fri 10 Oct 2025 at 19:30 | Eventbrite<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Founded over 260 years ago and with offices in Solihull and Birmingham, Sydney Mitchell LLP\u2019s specialist team portfolio spans employment, commercial property, company and commercial services, litigation, insolvency, family law, residential property, dispute resolution, immigration, wills and probate, tax and trusts, and personal injury.
