Sydney Mitchell LLP is pleased to announce their chosen charities for 2019 are Age UK - Solihull and the Buddy Bag Foundation; two great Midlands charities that have been selected by staff for its fundraising activities.
Sydney Mitchell invited the charities to meet partners and staff at their offices to hear more about the charities and what they are hoping to achieve over the next 12 months.
Lorraine Hart, Fundraising Manager at Age UK Solihull said:
We're so grateful to have been chosen as one of Sydney Mitchell's two chosen charities for the coming year.
It was great to meet the Birmingham, Shirley and Sheldon teams and to see their enthusiasm for supporting us both through fundraising and volunteering and to hear about their own experiences of seeing the challenges faced by older people.
We look forward to working with the teams to our mutual benefit.
Karen Williams, Founder of the Buddy Bag Foundation added
Buddy Bag Foundation would like to thank Sydney Mitchell for choosing us as their Charity of the Year.
Together, we can raise awareness and essential funds to continue to provide Buddy bags to children in emergency care.
Together, we can make a real difference.
Karen Moores and Sarah Archer, Partners at Sydney Mitchell commented:
We are pleased to support such worthy charities. Both were put forward by staff in our recent staff survey.
It is great to be helping both young and old and we are looking forward to engaging with the local community to provide support to both.

**The Buddy Bag Foundation was created in response to the rising number of children who enter emergency care after fleeing violent situations at home. The Foundation helps restore a sense of safety and security into a child’s life during a traumatic time. By providing these children with a few essential items, the charity can help make the transition into emergency care a little easier. Over 48000 children require emergency accommodation each year in the UK. Founder Karen Williams launched the Buddy Bag foundation in 2014 after being inspired by the Alannah and Madeline Foundation in Australia.
