Oliver & Co Solicitors Gallop for a Good Cause at Chester Racecourse

On Sunday, 4th August, Oliver & Co Solicitors swapped legal briefs for reins as they took part in the pantomime horse race at Chester Racecourse. The event, organised by the Hospice of the Good Shepherd, brought together local businesses and community members for a day of fun, fundraising, and a bit of friendly competition - all for a great cause.

Oliver & Co entered the race with their very own unicorn, affectionately named Oliver the Legal Legend. Though Oliver didn’t cross the finish line first, the team’s spirits were high as they trotted across the course, entertaining the crowd with their enthusiasm and team spirit. While victory eluded them, the real triumph was in the amount of support they gathered for the hospice.

Through their participation, Oliver & Co Solicitors raised an impressive £1,305 in sponsorships. This contribution was part of a larger collective effort, as the entire event managed to raise over £40,000 in total for the Hospice of the Good Shepherd.

The day was filled with laughter, excitement, and a strong sense of camaraderie among all the participants.

Despite the playful nature of the event, everyone was united by the common goal of supporting the hospice and the incredible services it provides. Oliver & Co were proud to be a part of this important community event, contributing to the success of a day that was as much about raising awareness as it was about raising funds.

“We’re thrilled to have been able to take part in such a wonderful event for an even more wonderful cause,” said David Owen, CEO at Oliver & Co Solicitors who dressed as a criminal to complement Oliver’s judge costume. “Although Oliver the Legal Legend didn’t win the race, we feel like winners for having had the opportunity to contribute to the Hospice of the Good Shepherd and to help make a difference in our community.”

Oliver & Co Solicitors are already looking forward to next year’s event and are committed to continuing their support for the Hospice of the Good Shepherd and other local causes. Until then, Oliver the Legal Legend will rest up, ready to race another day.
