Lawyers In South Coast Office Spread Festive Cheer In City

A number of lawyers from Irwin Mitchell’s Southampton office spread festive cheer by taking youngsters supported by Naomi House and Jacksplace Hospices to a pantomime in the city.

The South Coast office of the leading national law firm invited 20 children and their families to see Cinderella at the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton on Sunday 4 January.

Naomi House and Jacksplace provide palliative care and support to babies, children and young adults with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions. Young people from Hampshire, Berkshire, Dorset, Isle of Wight, Surrey, Sussex and Wiltshire are considered for referrals and the charity pays for all of the services.

The charity has two purpose-built facilities and its fully qualified nurses and carers provide one-to-one specialist care to those in the hospices.

Katy Robinson, a spokesperson from Naomi House and Jacksplace Hospices said: “The children and young people that had the chance to see the pantomime all had a wonderful time. It was the perfect way for them to spend time with their families, creating precious memories as well as having some fun! 

A trip out like this does require a lot of forward planning, a lot of time and money, so it was such a lovely gesture from Irwin Mitchell in Southampton to offer us the opportunity to have a festive treat.”
