Shakespeare Martineau takes strides to support namesake hospice

Law firm Shakespeare Martineau has stepped up to the mark by sponsoring and running in Stratford-upon-Avon’s annual Shakespeare Full and Half Marathon –raising money for The Shakespeare Hospice.

The firm, which has sponsored the event for more than a decade, joined forces with planning, design and development consultancy Marrons to field a dedicated team of runners.

For this year’s event, which took place on Sunday, April 21, Shakespeare Martineau raised crucial funds for its hub-nominated charity The Shakespeare Hospice. Since 1999, the hospice has been caring for patients with life-limiting illnesses and their carers and loved ones across South Warwickshire, providing day services, hospice at home, adult counselling, transitional care, and children and family support.

Andrew Smith, head of Shakespeare Martineau’s Stratford-upon-Avon hub, said: “We are thrilled to have been part of this fantastic event once again. I’m extremely proud of my colleagues for lacing up their running shoes to raise money that will make a real difference to the lives of those supported by The Shakespeare Hospice.

“The hospice gives people in our community who are affected by a life-limiting illness or bereavement access to compassionate care. We’re lucky to have such a fantastic charity on our doorstep that provides vital services to the region.”

Runners from Shakespeare Martineau included corporate partner Lisa Botterill, commercial and IP partner Nicholas Briggs, agricultural law partner Jennie Wheildon, commercial property legal director Ben
