A KEIGHLEY solicitors firm has once again adopted Martin House children’s hospice as its charity for the year.

Staff at AWB Charlesworth branches in Keighley and Skipton said they had several exciting fundraising ideas for 2015.

They have already entered a team for the Martin House Dragon Boat Race, and plan a second charity golf day in the summer with Pearson and Associates.

AWB Charlesworth began its support for Martin House last year and raised more than £4,400 through a variety of events and activities, including more than £2,600 with a golf day.

Martin House, which cares for children and young people with progressive life-limiting illnesses, currently provides support for more than 400 families across Yorkshire.

The charity aims to offer a place of rest and practical help in a supportive, relaxing environment. Martin House needs £4.9 million each year to keep the hospice running, and less than 18 per cent of its income is from the Government.

AWB Charlesworth partner, Liam O’Neill, said: “Once again we are delighted to be able to support such a brilliant charity.”
