Charity / Fundraising

We had the pleasure of welcoming Africa Chatleigh from Cancer Research UK to our Seaford office earlier today.

Barwells Solicitors are proudly part of Cancer Research UK’s Will Writing Scheme, helping clients support an incredible cause while planning for the future.

Over the last 16 years, our fantastic clients have pledged an incredible £10.6 million in their Wills to Cancer Research UK, including £2.7 million pledged last year alone, a contribution that will make a lasting impact in the fight against cancer.

A huge thank you to our clients and communities across Eastbourne, Hailsham, Newhaven, Peacehaven and Seaford for your continued support over the years. Your generosity truly helps make a difference.

Team Barwells (Hannah Trigwell, George Darakchiev, Alex Desombre & Edward Sandalls) had a fantastic time yesterday taking part in the Eastbourne 10K Legal Walk in support of Citizens Advice Eastbourne

They completed the route in 1 hour and 56 minutes and were the first team back!

We were proud to walk (and race!) to help raise money for Citizens Advice Eastbourne

Each year, the London Legal Support Trust organises regional legal walks to support local Citizens Advice offices. The goal? To improve access to justice for all.

100% of the funds raised go directly to Citizens Advice Eastbourne.

There’s still time to support this amazing cause
