Local law firm Lanyon Bowdler are delighted to have been able to contribute to the recent purchase of a new evacuation chair for charity, Headway Shropshire.  The law firm, through funds raised by its own Charities Committee, has contributed £500.00 towards the cost of the equipment. 

The evacuation chair, which is an important item of safety equipment, will enable staff at Headway Shropshire to now swiftly transfer immobile individuals from an upper floor should a lift break down, or in the event of an emergency.  It also means that members of staff do not have to undertake any heavy lifting or manual handling. 

Lanyon Bowdler are proud to work with the community, and take their fundraising responsibilities very seriously. They have their own Charities Committee which meets regularly to think up novel ideas and organise fundraising activities. Each year the Committee look for local charities to support and in 2009, the identified charity was Headway Shropshire.  Despite the credit crunch, the partners and staff of Lanyon Bowdler have continued to dig deep into their pockets in aid of charity and raise funds for much needed causes.

Senior partner, and Chairman of the Lanyon Bowdler Charities Committee Peter Flint comments "I am delighted that Lanyon Bowdler have been able to assist Headway Shropshire in a most practical way to purchase such an important item of safety equipment".
