Rockinghorse
As part of our CSR
programme we partner with
a Sussex-based charity and
focus our fundraising efforts
for them for two years. In
March the staff at MWB
nominated the charities they
wanted to work with and
a shortlist of three worthy
causes was chosen. There
was then a vote to final
choose and in April we were
able to announce that our
charity partner is now Rockinghorse.
Rockinghorse is a Brighton-based charity which has been
supporting children for nearly 50 years. It was set up in 1967 by Dr
Trevor Mann, who recognised there was a real need for additional
resources to improve healthcare services for sick children and
babies. The charity raises money to buy life saving cutting-edge
equipment for hospitals across Sussex including the Special Care
Baby Unit at the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath,
The Trevor Mann Baby Unit at the Royal Sussex and the Royal
Alexandra Children’s Hospital both in Brighton.

Children’s Charity, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have been
voted as the chosen charity by staff at Mayo Wynne Baxter for the
next two years. The law firm is very well respected in the county,
so it is fantastic to be able to align ourselves with them in the
lead up to our 50th anniversary celebrations. We are very much
looking forward to working with the team on a number of exciting
fundraising activities and events.”
