West Midlands Law Firm Sponsor Event To Help Them Raise Awareness
National law firm Irwin Mitchell has helped a family whose son suffers from bacterial Meningitis to raise thousands of pounds for a charity which offers care and support to families nationwide.Dedicated parents Becky and Colin Doyle set up Liam’s Smiles after their son contracted Meningitis in 2010 which supports national charity Meningitis Now which offer a range of services, such as counselling, advice, home visits and even financial support to families affected by Meningitis.

Liam’s mum, Becky, said: “We were overwhelmed with the support from everyone who attended the event – I would like to say a huge thank you to Irwin Mitchell for sponsoring this for us, it means the world to our family.Expert Opinion
We are extremely proud to be a part of this event and also to be able to help to support Becky and Colin to raise so much money for Meningitis Now which is an amazing organisation that gives invaluable care and support to so many families affected by Meningitis.
