“We can prove with numbers the impact Watsons Solicitors has had but it’s the long-lasting connections, smiles, and laughter that’s difficult to quantify.”
This is just some of the overwhelmingly positive feedback from Warrington Wolves Community Foundation CEO Neil Kelly following support from Watsons for its health and wellbeing community programmes.
Alongside the charity, the Cheshire-based law firm has backed several initiatives including the annual Warrington Running Festival and a range of local sports clubs, demonstrating its willingness to help people of all ages get active.
Indeed, Watsons has supplied, donated, or raised approximately £100,000 for noble causes, with £15,000 given within the past 20 months alone.
Beneficiaries of the firm’s generosity over recent years include 24 sports teams such as:
Watsons has also provided valuable support to the Warrington Wolves Community Foundation Women’s Football Club, Warrington Women’s hockey team, and Warrington Town FC.
Danny Hudson, partner, and member of the family law department at Watsons, said:
“As a Warrington-based business, it’s always great to give back to our local community whenever we can.
“Whether it is helping teams purchase equipment and kits or raising funds for charities, it’s great to see the difference our efforts have made in getting people active.
“Playing sports not only helps you stay fit, but improves fine motor skills, boosts confidence, and creates friendships and camaraderie.
“We’re proud to play just a small part in the bigger picture.”
Warrington Wolves Community Foundation CEO Neil Kelly shared a similar sentiment, lauding the company for its unwavering commitment.
The charity provides opportunities through sport, education, health and the arts to promote inclusivity, wellbeing, and empowerment for the town’s residents.
Watsons has supported the In The Sheds initiative, aimed at assisting lonely or isolated individuals build social connectivity, while hundreds of miles have been cycled as part of the foundation’s annual charity bike ride.
Neil said: “Watsons have been working with us for more than a decade. Its donations have supported a wide range of programmes, but more specifically our disability and older people projects.
“Each year, without asking, the team at Watsons is round the table looking at ways to connect and make a difference with our community.
“From front runners in developing our learning disability rugby league, to trailblazing initiatives with our residential homes, Watsons staff have contributed their time to involve themselves in our work.”
Those thoughts are echoed by Warrington Rylands Football Club commercial director Andrew Hibbert, who said: “I would just like to thank you and all the team at Watsons Solicitors for your support of not just Warrington Rylands FC but your overall investment in grassroots sport in our town.
“As an owner of a local community club, it is vitally important that we have relationships with the business community in order for us to provide a safe and fun environment for our children to be physically active and learn valuable life skills.
“Watsons Solicitors have been instrumental in supporting multiple clubs across multiple sports within the town and have enabled hundreds of children to have the right kit, equipment, and facilities to enjoy their chosen activity.”
As well as supporting sports clubs and wellbeing initiatives, Watsons Solicitors has also engaged with the wider community.
This includes supplying funds for 500 disadvantaged children to experience Warrington Disability Partnership’s Santa’s Grotto, and offering last-minute assistance to Brook Acre Community Primary School, making the youngsters trip to London possible.
