Irwin Mitchell’s London Office so kindly chose Spread a Smile as their charity partner in 2019/20. After a year of hard work, total dedication and lots of fun, they raised an astonishing £44,448 to support our vital work with seriously ill children in hospitals. This partnership was the first of its kind for Spread a Smile and is one that will always remain very close to our heart. Their initial fundraising target was £10,000, making their fundraising total even more of a triumph!
As well as raising such vital funds for the charity, the team in London also generously supported Spread a Smile by offering pro bono legal advice throughout the partnership (and beyond). This is invaluable to a small charity like Spread a Smile and has made the world of difference on a number of key projects that we have undertaken. We absolutely loved working with, and getting to know, the team throughout our partnership and are proud to have forged long-lasting relationships within the London Office.
At Spread a Smile we strongly believe that each child, family, hospital staff member, company and partnership is different. It is for this reason that we tailor every aspect of our work so that we are always offering a personal touch – whether that’s a bedside visit personal to the specific needs of a child or a multi-thousand pound charity partnership.
We pride ourselves on taking this approach to our work and would love to hear from you if you are a company looking for a new charity partner. Needless to say – we will work closely with you to create a partnership that works for your team, office and wider company.
