Thirty-six intrepid folk walked over fire on Brighton seafront to raise money for Adventure Unlimited on Saturday, June 5, 2010 - including six team members from martin searle solicitors‘ Brighton and Croydon offices. It was the first time the charity had organised a firewalking fundraiser and the spectacle, accompanied by a samba band and fire jugglers, was watched by about 500 people. In all the evening raised about £2,500.
Adventure Unlimited raises money to enrich the lives of disadvantaged children and young people in the local community through Adventure Unlimited’s activities. The charity’s event organiser Emma Smith said: “We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved, especially the brave firewalkers whose efforts mean Adventure Unlimited can continue its work with disadvantaged young people.”
martin searle solicitors whose two directors took part also organised a post-event party at umi Hotel Brighton. Director Fiona Martin said: “We loved the sound of this event as soon as we heard about it and it was great to be able to support it by raising sponsorship for our own brave firewalkers and also hosting the party. As a community law firm, it’s great to be supporting such a brilliant charity that does so much to help some of the most disadvantaged members of our community.”
Brighton band Easy Company played at the party. Meanwhile, umi Hotel Brighton and local photographer Anthony Hunt donated their services for free to support Adventure Unlimited.
