At Pickworths, we are pleased to do our bit for the Local Community. Last year, as you may be aware, we sponsored the Pink T-shirts for the Hospice of St Francis ‘Walk with the Stars’ event. This was one of the more prominent things we do.
Senior Partner Ian Tottman is a trustee for DENS (Dacorum Emergency Night Shelter). Ian is a director on the board and helps to make decisions for the charity by assisting with the legal aspects as well as contributing ideas.
Pickworths are the official solicitors and one of the main sponsors of the Fullarians Rugby Club based in Watford. Ian is also on the committee and is a qualified coach and referee.
A number of our solicitors support the CAB (Citizens Advice Bureau) by attending the Watford and St Albans CAB offices to assist people with legal advice on employment, civil litigation and family law.
Partner Glenda Ferneyhough is a trustee for CAD (Community Action Dacorum) which includes Connect Dacorum. CAD provides support to voluntary organisations and community groups and also runs Paradise Furniture Project, Community Wheels and Herts interpreting and training services. Assisting with the legal aspects that such groups can face in the setting up of new projects Pickworths recently received a Certificate of Appreciation for work in the area of Corporate Social Responsibility from the Mayor of Dacorum Stephen Holmes and this was presented to Glenda by local MP’s Mike Penning and David Gauke (picture courtesy of Ian Waldron www.ianwaldronphotography.com).
