Bond Dickinson’s Bristol office has helped to raise over £10,000 in the last two years for Survive. Having elected Survive as their in-house charity two years ago, Bond Dickinson staff have provided support and raised money through various fairs, cake sales, raffles, bucket collections, Christmas bag packing, runners/volunteers in the Bristol 10k, Half Marathon and Cardiff Half marathon. Clients of Bond Dickinson also supported the fundraising by donating prizes for the raffles and attending various events and also donating items for our refuge facilities.

Members of Bond Dickinson also volunteered at two of our refuges to help make the garden spaces more enjoyable for residents. One of the main highlights for Bond Dickinson staff was being able to support Survive donating Christmas shoe boxes for the women and children who will be spending Christmas in refuge. This year they donated over 30 show boxes! Bond Dickinson’s support has helped transform the lives of many Survive service users, and has helped raise awareness of domestic abuse.

William Robertson, Partner at Bond Dickinson, said:

“Since electing Survive as our in-house charity for the Bristol office two years ago there has been a tremendous amount of support from both Bond Dickinson staff and clients. Our charities committee have worked tirelessly to organise events throughout the year that have resulted in an amazing amount of money being raised for a very worthy cause. We are proud of the role Bond Dickinson has played in raising awareness of Survive and we will continue to show our support where possible.”

Gillian Carson, Sustainability Manager at Survive, said:
“We would like to thank everyone at Bond Dickinson’s Bristol office for their unwavering support over the last two years. Their commitment and enthusiasm to raise awareness of domestic abuse has been amazing to see. They have helped Survive in so many ways giving their time, sharing their expertise, collecting Christmas gifts for children living in refuge, hosting our 40th anniversary event to name just a few, as well as organising their own fundraising activities. Well done on raising such a great sum of money to help us continue our work enabling people to escape from domestic abuse and rebuild their lives.”
