Nockolds Announces Charity of the Year 2018-19

After a successful year of fundraising for Headway Herts (total TBC), Nockolds Solicitors is pleased to announce that it’s Charity of the Year 2018-19 is Steph’s Wishes. 

Steph’s Wishes is a Hertfordshire based charity set up in the name of Stephanie Knight, who tragically lost her battle with Ewing’s Sarcoma in 2013. The charity raises money for young adults in the UK who have been diagnosed with recurring or terminal cancer, to provide them with cherished experiences with their families by way of ‘Memory Days’.

Steph’s Wishes works tirelessly to support these young people and their families at a time when their lives have been turned upside down; allowing them to be together, smile and create lasting memories. 

Michelle Ives, of Nockolds’ Commercial Property Team, said: ‘As a Trustee for the charity and an employee at Nockolds, I can honestly say that I am delighted that Steph’s Wishes has been chosen as Charity of the Year.’

‘Being a small local charity, to have the support of the firm will make a huge difference in allowing us to continue our goal in giving young people positive memories with their families.’

‘I have seen first-hand what a ‘Memory Day’ can do for families and friends who are dealing with the fact that a loved one is fighting the ultimate battle – although the person can never be replaced, a memory will remain with those closest to them forever, and that in itself is irreplaceable.’

‘This charity is very close to my heart, and the support we will receive from Nockolds is truly vital in allowing us to continue our work. Both myself and everyone involved in Steph’s Wishes are extremely grateful to Nockolds.’

Every year Nockolds raises funds for its chosen Charity of the Year by hosting a number of charitable events such as quiz and bingo evenings, bake sales and raffles. The firm is dedicated to supporting the local community and has never been afraid of a challenge – in the past staff have undertaken an epic walking challenge of 34 miles, the Three Peaks Challenge and the British Heart Foundation’s London to Paris Cycle Ride.
