Our Charity Partner - Papworth Trust

In 2014 our founding Partner, Stuart Forsdike, chose to make Papworth Trust our charity partner – not just because he is passionate about their cause, but also 100% of the money raised goes directly towards the charity. More specifically, the funds go to the Papworth Basildon Centre, which is local to our head office.

Papworth Trust supports adults with physical disabilities, learning difficulties, and those with profound and complex needs, to live as independently as possible. Their mission is to provide disabled people with equality, choice and independence.

In 10 years, we have raised over £30,000 for Papworth through marathons, cycle rides, golf days and all sorts of staff events.

In 2024, we pledged to raise £10,000 throughout the year to mark the 10 years of our partnership with Papworth. To achieve our goal, we organised a Golf Day, a climb up Snowdon, and a quiz night, and our staff participated in The Cambridge Half Marathon, The London Big Half Marathon, and The Ford Ride London cycle event - totalling an incredible amount of £15,000 raised in 2024. These efforts were featured in Today’s Conveyancer, Estate Agent Today, and The Negotiator.

Our staff visit the Basildon centre regularly and customers from Papworth volunteer at our offices fortnightly, and it is astounding to see the impact, and the differences the money we raise makes to the everyday lives of their customers. The money we raised in 2024 will fund a Games Room at the centre, offering disabled customers a space to foster relaxation, boost social interaction, and encourage focus—all while delivering fun and laughter. It aligns perfectly with PCS Legal’s values: prioritising mental health and having fun while making a difference.

If you would like to make a donation, please contact your case handler who will arrange to forward you the relevant details. Please also refer to our charity poster which you will receive when instructing us on any Conveyancing or Will matter. Thank you for all your support.

At PCS Legal, we are proud to support Papworth Trust through our Annual Charity Golf Days. These events bring together clients, partners, and golf enthusiasts for a day of fun, competition, and fundraising for an incredible cause.

Over the past three years, our Golf Day has made a significant impact:

  • 2023: Held at Warley Park Golf Club, we raised £1,500.

  • 2024: Once again at Warley Park, this time raising £3,000.

  • 2025: Our event grew even bigger, raising over £3,000, and attendees enjoyed a schedule featuring a silent auction, a raffle, a winners' trophy ceremony, and a breakfast and dinner.

If you would like to join us on our next Charity Golf Day, sponsor the event, or support our fundraising efforts, please email us at marketing@pcslegal.co.uk.

Food Banks

As well as our continuous fundraising for Papworth, every year our Basildon, Wickford and Rayleigh offices hold a food drive for the Trussell Trust Basildon foodbank, and our Ongar office donates their collection to Streets2Homes. We understand how important their work is for the 1 in 5 people in the UK living below the poverty line. 

In 2023, the Basildon Foodbank gave 2042 three-day emergency food supplies in crisis. To find out how you can help, you can visit their website here.
