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.
Our nominated Charity of the Year has been Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity since 2018, a cause close to the heart for many of the Talbots team, and in September we are taking to the water to sponsor and to take part in Dragon Boat Racing at the Mailbox in Birmingham to raise funds for Birmingham Women's and Children's Hospital Charity, in particular for the Woodland House Appeal.
What did we do to raise money in 2019?

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.
Our nominated Charity of the Year has Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity since 2018, a cause close to the heart for many of the Talbots team.
We set ourselves an ambitious target to raise £30,000 in 2018 and thanks to the efforts of all our staff we smashed that target and raised £50,000. In 2019, our aim was to raise another £50,000 and we were thrilled to reach that target, all through the efforts of our teams taking on extraordinary challenges to raise money for the benefit of the charity.
For 2020, we wanted to continue to support the charity, but took the decision to focus our fundraising to benefit Birmingham Women's & Children's Hospital's Woodland House Appeal and you can read more about the vital work that they do in supporting bereaved parents here
We had hoped to raise a similar amount for this appeal, during 2020, but we all know why that couldn't happen. Still, 16 months on, and restrictions finally being lifted, we're able to pick up our plans, dust them off, and set off on the fundraising trail once more.
In the meantime, 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 else are we doing?
In addition to our fundraising activities, we also volunteer 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’ve been helping to provide art and craft activities to keep the children distracted and to provide them with something fun to take home.
Unfortunately, along with our fundraising activities, our volunteering activities are also still on hold until the current social distancing rules are relaxed further.
