Charity

Talbots Law have always been committed to raising money for good causes, and our staff have taken up a number of challenges over the years for the benefit of local and national charities.

This year has been no exception and our staff selected their Charity of the Year for 2018 as Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity, a cause close to the heart for many of the Talbots’ team.

We set ourselves an ambitious target to raise £30,000 and thanks to the efforts of all our staff we have smashed that target and raised £50,000.

Not only that, but we are determined to repeat that performance next year and raise another £50,000 for BCH.

At Talbots Law we always encourage our clients to remember a charity in their will. Click here to read about how you could help to write the story for tomorrow's children by remembering Birmingham Children's Hospital in your will.

What are we doing to raise money?

London Marathon 2019

So, picture this ..... It's been pouring down with rain ALL morning, I'm soaked to the bone, freezing cold, my makeup has been washed clean off my face (not a pretty sight), my back hurts, my feet really hurt, and I'm fairly certain one of my...

Talbots team conquer Paris

Congratulations to our Talbots team of cycling heroes who completed the 300 mile trip from London to Paris. Well done to all the guys, who raised over £11,000 for Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity ...

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.

What we did to raise the money

We started off the year by being Brave in Bandages . . . then we got braver

Forty of our Talbots colleagues climbed Snowdon

We had a team of five cyclists who rode over 250 miles from London to Paris

Then we had a team of four running the Birmingham Half Marathon

And inbetween our physical challenge events, we also raised money by baking, dressing up, dressing down and dieting.

Thanks to the generosity of our staff, their families and friends, and a whole bunch of fabulous corporate sponsors, we managed to smash our £30,000 target and raise over £50,000 this year . . . and we're hoping to repeat this performance in 2019.

But it hasn't all been about the money - we've also volunteered to entertain children waiting for appointments, put up festive decorations to bring a Christmassy feel to the wards, and distributed gifts to children who are not well enough to go home for Christmas.

So, what's next?

For 2019 we're going to continue our voluntary work, and also already planning skydiving and the London Marathon - watch this space for more details.

What We're Raising Money For

Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity’s mission is to raise the vital funds needed to make a real difference to all who use the hospital’s services, offering them the best experience possible. Their vision is to provide the best possible facilities and environment at Birmingham Children’s Hospital, for their exceptional patients and young people.

Talbots are raising money specifically for the Critical Journeys Appeal to help fund lifesaving equipment for their fleet of four KIDS/NTS ambulances. The Charity is just £400k short of their £2m target and we want to help them get much closer.

What is KIDS/NTS?

KIDS/NTS is a mobile intensive care unit (contained within an ambulance)
KIDS provides emergency specialist transport for critically ill children across the region.
NTS transports babies, including the most fragile and premature, to the right neonatal unit that can care for their specialist requirements.
The service makes sure that more than 2,000 newborn, small babies and children requiring intensive care and emergency treatment are transferred to the right place, at the right time, for the right treatment.
This service also helps find beds for expectant mothers who need to be transferred from their local hospital to another, more specialised hospital in order to provide the appropriate care required for them and/or their baby.

What else are we doing?

Volunteering

In addition to our fundraising activities, we are also volunteering to spend some time in the Hospital’s busy outpatient and emergency departments to entertain our patients through arts and crafts!

Children can often be waiting to see our medical staff for long periods of time and this can increase stress and anxiety levels – of both patients and parents alike! We’ll be helping to provide art and craft activities to keep the children distracted and to provide them with something fun to take home.

Snowdon

They did it - and we are so proud of our Talbots team! The Talbots Team conquered Snowdon on Saturday 21st July, raising almost £8,000 for Birmingham Children's Hospital charity at the same time. They arrived by coach from Birmingham and...
