We are very excited to announce that our charity quiz night with Brethertons Solicitors raised a massive £2,158 for Mind UK.
Over 140 people including Partners, staff, contacts, friends and family members of both Ellacotts and Brethertons took part in the quiz night at Banbury United Football Club on Thursday 18 October.

Miles for Mind Challenge
Following our charity quiz, we will be taking on Brethertons in a head to head sporting fundraising challenge to raise money for Mind.
Called #MilesforMind, it will take place on Sunday 18 November at Spiceball Leisure Centre in Banbury between 10am – 4pm. Each firm will have a treadmill, a bike and a rowing machine, all three can be in use at all times, and whoever clocks up the most miles in the 6 hours is the winner.
Please feel free to come along on the day and show your support. If you would like to help us support this fantastic charity, please donate by visiting our fundraising page.
