Instead of sending Christmas Cards Adams Harrison chose to donate the money to local charities.
We were delighted to support Cambridge Women’s Aid with a donation of £350.

Shoshana Goldhill Presents Cheque To Addenbrookes Charitable Trust
Shoshana Goldhill, partner and head of the family department this week attended Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge and donated a cheque to Addenbrookes Charitable Trust (Breast Cancer) on behalf of all the partners.
Each year the firm chooses to donate to local charities in lieu of sending corporate Christmas cards. The donation was very well
received.
Our other selected charities for Christmas 2015 are St Nicholas Hospice, Suffolk and Women’s Refuge, Cambridge.
Hayley Ford of our Wills and Probate team went along to St Nicholas Hospice in Haverhill on the 9th of December to present a cheque for £350.00 to Nick Duncan.
Adams Harrison do not send out Christmas Cards to clients or businesses and instead choose three different charities each year to benefit from the money that would have been spent.
This year the staff chose St Nicholas Hospice, Addenbrookes Charitable Trust (ACT) – Breast Cancer, and the Cambridge Women’s Refuge.

Adams Harrison sponsored the Haverhill Triathlon this year in aid of the Haverhill Scouts and Guides, and so we entered three teams for the Sprint+ Relay.
We met up outside the Leisure Centre on a beautiful, sunny Sunday morning, the 4th of October, all a little nervous as none of us have ever done a triathlon before. Our teams had to do a 600m swim, 45km cycle and a 10k run. The teams were made up as follows:-
Tri Hards:-
Swimming – Hayley Ford
Cycling – Andy Dedman
Running – Gillian Gilligan
Giving it a Tri:-
Swimming – Tom Pitts
Cycling – Alison Helbert
Running – Simon Gilligan
Tri-Angels:-
Swimming – Lois Revill
Cycling – Sharon Dyster
Running – Rebecca Dedman
All our athletes did extremely well and said that they enjoyed the day (and have even said that they will do it again next year)! The final results of our three teams were:-
1st place – Tri-Hards with a finishing time of 2:46:15
2nd place – Giving it a Tri with a finishing time of 3:01:25
3rd place – Tri-Angels with a finishing time of 3:20:47.
We met up afterwards in the Drabbit Smock for a well deserved drink where Rhodri Rees (our senior Partner) presented a trophy to the winning team.
Congratulations to all our teams, you did an amazing job!

Haverhill’s triathlon has proud new sponsors in the shape of local solicitors Adams Harrison.
The company is the flagship sponsor of HaverTri, which is being held on Sunday 4 October at Haverhill Leisure Centre after attracting close to 200 triathletes to Haverhill for last year’s inaugural event.
HaverSports is also hosting Haverhill’s first duathlon to simultaneously with the triathlon, with both events raising money for Haverhill Scouts and Guides and being licensed by British Triathlon Federation.
HaverSports director Jack Tappin said: “After last year proved the popularity of triathlon last year I’m hoping to build on the foundation of success and grow HaverTri further this year, particularly with the addition of HaverDua to get those who complain about swimming taking part!
“It’s great that there are businesses like Adams Harrison in Haverhill that are committed to realising athletics events in the town, and I look forward to working with them to deliver another excellent event for Haverhill.”
Adams Harrison Solicitors has entered three relay teams to the Sprint+ race as employees look to show that they can go the distance.
Jenny Carpenter, managing partner at Adams Harrison Solicitors, said: “HaverSports has shown how popular athletics events are to Haverhill and we look forward to seeing hundreds swim, cycle and run round the town in October.
“We’re proud to be supporting HaverTri and realise how important it is for people to keep active while promoting the growth of community events.”
Duncan Batty, group Scout leader at 1st Haverhill, added: “Last year’s HaverTri delivered a welcome boost to our aim of funding new facilities so the children of Haverhill can continue to enjoy Scouting and Guiding. We look forward to seeing even more take part this year in this great community event, as community involvement is what we’re all about.”

Yesterday a team from Adams Harrison took part in the 30th Sawston Fun Run, which is the largest annual community-led event and one that Adams Harrison have sponsored since they took over Webb & Partners in 2008.
The Fun Run was well attended and our team collected a good sum of money on the run round in our bucket, and handed out our flags to the young children along the way.
This year the money raised by the event will be going to the Tom’s Trust, which was set up in 2011 as a legacy to Tom Whiteley who died aged 9 of a brain tumour. The charity was set up to raise funds for caring for children with brain tumours and their families. Plus a further eighteen other local charities and good causes will benefit from the money raised.
Adams Harrison is one of the proud sponsors for the first ever EACH Colour Dash to take place in Essex on the 6th September 2015.
The Colour Dash is taking place within the Audley End Estate, where you can run or walk your way around the 5km route whilst getting covered in coloured powder paint.
