Latimer Hinks Hands Over £10,000 to Three Charities
July 14th, 2008
Darlington law firm, Latimer Hinks, has shared a charitable donation of £10,000 between three local charities. The money was raised by clients and associates at the fifth Latimer Hinks Summer Ball.
The charities – the County Durham Foundation, TFM and Magic 1170’s Cash for Kids, and the Great North Air Ambulance – each received £3,333.33. These latest donations bring the total amount of charitable funds raised by the firm’s biennial summer balls to nearly £35,000.
Anne Elliott, partner at Latimer Hinks said: “For more than a century, Latimer Hinks has made a valuable contribution to the Darlington community. I feel incredibly humbled by the generosity of the firm’s clients and associates. The Latimer Hinks Summer Ball continues to make great contributions to north east charities - all of whom undertake essential work to support people throughout our region.”
The fifth Summer Ball was held at Wynyard Hall in May. The black-tie event included a four course meal, a charitable auction and a raffle prize draw. Helping to ensure donations reached an event record of £10,000, HSBC bank generously contributed to the fund – mirroring donations £ for £ for the first £1000.
Anne added: “Everyone involved in our Summer Ball should be rightly proud of this latest achievement.”
