Shrewsbury law firm Aaron & Partners has raised hundreds of pounds for a palliative care and bereavement charity by completing a rigorous trek through Snowdonia National Park.

Legal experts take on Welsh Peaks Challenge to raise funds for hospice

The team of seven took on the 13.2-mile Welsh Peaks Challenge across Moel Eilio, Foel Goch, Cynghorion, culminating in an ascent via the Rangers Path to the summit of Snowdon, or 'Yr Wyddfa' in Welsh, all in aid of The Hospice of the Good Shepherd. Fortunately, the weather was good for the mountain walkers, who, over the course of nine hours covered a total ascent and descent of 4,200 feet (1,280m) – without a break.

Helen Johnson, Partner and Head of Marketing, who was part of the group to complete the challenge, said they had raised over £700 – beating their initial target of £500.

She said: "The Hospice of the Good Shepherd is a truly special organisation, and it’s such a privilege as a business to be able to support this worthy cause.

 "We’d like to say a big thank you to the generosity shown towards our fundraising efforts. If anyone would like to contribute further by donating through the team's fundraising page, every pound helps make a huge difference.”

The Hospice of the Good Shepherd, which is Aaron & Partners’ charity partner, provides essential palliative care and support to patients with life-limiting conditions and their families. The charity’s services include pain and symptom management, emotional support, and respite care, ensuring a high quality of life for patients during difficult times.

Alan Knell, Philanthropy and Relationship Manager at The Hospice of the Good Shepherd, added: "We are immensely grateful to the team from Aaron & Partners for their incredible effort and dedication in completing the Welsh Peaks Challenge.

“Initiatives like this are crucial for us to continue our work, and the funds raised will go a long way in helping our mission to provide compassionate care and support to patients and their families.”
