Midlands law firm Sydney Mitchell has selected Marie Curie Solihull and Solihull Carers' Trust as its 2025 charities of the year.
Both charities will share the total funds raised by the firm throughout 2025 from a programme of fundraising events and activities, including the flagship Sydney Mitchell Charity Ball on October 10 at the British Motor Cycle Museum, in Birmingham.
Other events include a Charity Quiz, and staff activities at each of its offices in Birmingham, Solihull and Sheldon, such as dress down days, coffee mornings and cake sales.
From its Hospice on Marsh Lane, Marie Curie Solihull helps people with an illness they’re likely to die from, and the people close to them, receive specialist care and support for free. This includes Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, heart, liver or kidney and lung disease, motor neurone disease, Parkinson’s and advanced cancer.
Karen Moores, senior partner at Sydney Mitchell, said: “Marie Curie Solihull and Solihull Carers' Trust are both 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.
"The firm is honoured to be supporting them this year. While the focus of each fundraising event is on raising funds as well as awareness for both charities, the Sydney Mitchell LLP Charity Ball 2025 is a particularly special event and set to be a truly great night of entertainment with live music, casino tables and magic. I hope we will raise a significant amount of funds for both charities.”
Sydney Mitchell has supported Carers' Trust Solihull 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.
