Clapham & Collinge Solicitors host Christmas Extravaganza in support of The Benjamin Foundation

On Thursday 12th December, we hosted our third 'Christmas Extravaganza' event in support of The Benjamin Foundation; a local charity that brings hope, opportunity, stability and independence to children, young people and families experiencing challenges in Norfolk and Suffolk.

With a red carpet entrance and an elegantly decorated office, the much-anticipated event of the season featured plenty of festive fun, including roulette with professional croupiers, Christmas canapés from 7 Surrey Street, jazz with Manhattan Dusk, followed by raffle and auction in support of The Benjamin Foundation.

We are delighted to have raised a total of £1341 from this year's Christmas Extravaganza! Louis Hilldrup-Boorman, Marketing Manager at Clapham & Collinge said ''I am delighted with the success of our third Christmas Extravaganza, which has certainly grown since its humble conception in 2017. Based on the feedback we've received, guests had a jolly good time and we raised a fantastic amount for The Benjamin Foundation. Thanks to the local businesses and the firm's professional contacts for the incredibly generous raffle and auction prize donations, and a special thanks to DACS Design, Smith & Pinching and Home Buyer and Seller Advisory Services for sponsoring this year's event''.

Chris Elliott, Marketing and Fundraising Manager at The Benjamin Foundation said ''What a wonderful evening it was – we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and are once again hugely grateful for the amazing support of Clapham and Collinge! You've created a fantastic event with a real festive flavour and the opportunity for us to raise money and meet supporters old and new. Please accept a big thank you from me on behalf of The Benjamin Foundation''.
