Festive fundraisers spread Christmas cheer at Ellis Jones Solicitors

Around 100 staff at a regional law firm’s five south coast offices donned their wackiest festive attire to help underprivileged children in the UK and around the world.
Ellis Jones Solicitors continued its decade-long tradition of supporting Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day.
The firm’s office in Charminster Road, Bournemouth, exemplified the seasonal cheer as colleagues paid for the privilege of sporting Yuletide-themed sweaters, hats and tinsel.
Joining them in his very own hooped reindeer top was Frank, pet pooch of Ian Butterworth, Partner in the Family Department.
Managing Partner Nigel Smith said: “This is the eleventh time we’ve joined in Christmas Jumper Day and the knitwear seems to get wackier every year. It’s a great way to get into the spirit of Christmas and have fun while helping children who face severe challenges and disadvantage.”
The firm’s jumper day quickly raised more than £100 for Save the Children while colleagues also supported the charity Hope For Food and the Dorset Mums Gift of Love Appeal earlier in December.
As well as Bournemouth, Ellis Jones colleagues took part in the jumper day at offices in Poole, Ringwood, Swanage and Wimborne.
