Sills & Betteridge Sponsorship of Nettleham Woodland Trust Wetland Plants at Monks Wood, Dunholme nr Lincoln

As part of Sills & Betteridge Solicitors on going support for local projects in Lincolnshire, the firm donated £500 towards Nettleham Woodland Trust earlier in the year.One of the Senior Partners, Stephen Wilson, was on hand to present the cheque and help with some of the planting.

The sposorship was used to help fund the wetland planting in and around "The Wykes" wetland at Monks Wood, Dunholme near Lincoln. Pupil's from Lincoln Christ's Hospital School and Welton St Mary's Primary School (as part of their Red Nose Day events) also came down to help plant nearly 500 native plants on Friday 18th March 2011.

The plants included 18 different species such as greater and lesser pond sedges, yellow and purple loosestrife, sneezewort, marsh marigold,creeping jenny, cuckoo flower,ragged robing, water figwort, sweet galingale and carnation sedge. These native plants will grow over the coming years to enhance the wetlands and attract new wildlife.

The Nettleham Woodland Trust has kindly placed a plaque acknowledging Sills & Betteridge Solicitors sponsorship underneath "The Wykes" sign.

We wish the trust continued success with the project.

Sills & Betteridge Solicitors running in the Lincoln 10K road race on 3rd April 2011 - supporting L.I.V.E.S charity

Well great weather for the 15th Annual Lincoln 10k road race yesterday.

The response was fantastic from the population of Lincoln who turned out in huge numbers to support all the runners and the represented charities including the Sills & Betteridge chosen charity for 2011 the Lincolnshire Integrated Voluntary Emergency Service (L.I.V.E.S) First Responders. Myself and my partner Jackie were collecting throughout the event and it was lovely to see how generous people were being, even with the current financial climate and a number of collections on the day from a variety of worthy causes. Thank you all. We raised £80 on the day including the kind donations of Sills staff on Friday.
The race itself was a sell out with all 5500 places taken. On the day the weather clearly boosted the spirits of the runners and there were a record 4069 people completed the course with every runner crossing the line in under 2 hrs. The winner, Bruce Raeside crossed the line in a remarkable 30:15 with Jenny Blizard the first female across in 35:10.

As usual a number of Sills & Betteridge solicitors were running in the event. Well done to everyone, all under the hour, and here are the times and finishing positions.
