News Rockinghorse Roundup Since our last Rockinghorse Roundup, we have been busy raising even more money for our partner charity – Rockinghorse Children’s Charity. Of course there was Pancake Day, where staff donated £2 to top their pancake with a variety of yummy treats. We cannot forget the Brighton Medieval Banquet Saturday 25th March – this was a fundraising event like no other! Everyone got into the spirit by dressing up in medieval attire, the food was fantastic, and best of all, we raised just under £25,000 for the charity. Chris, the CEO of Mayo Wynne Baxter, is running 50 miles in aid of Rockinghorse, starting of with the Eastbourne half marathon which took place Sunday 5th March. Our Marketing Director, Jason, attended the Rockinghorse Children’s Charity quiz night at the County Cricket Ground, which rose over £7,600. Also PR Executive, Amber, will be running the British 10K 9th July for Rockinghorse.

Richard Adams, who is an Associate Solicitor in our Family Team, is currently the chair of East Sussex YRes, whilst Susie Parsons, a Paralegal in the team, is also a committee member. YRes is Resolution’s network of family law professionals at the start of their careers. As a Resolution member first and foremost, YRes members are committed to adopting a constructive approach to family law issues. The evening was a great success, with 10 teams taking part, made up of local solicitors, barristers and charity workers. There was a brilliant raffle with lots of excellent prizes on offer. Thanks to the generosity of the teams, the final amount raised for the charities was £477, which we are sure will go to very good use, supporting their vital work in the community. 6
