As we enter the festive season, a time traditionally associated with family and togetherness, it’s an unfortunate reality that not all relationships last. For unmarried couples, the end of a relationship can bring not just emotional turmoil but also legal complexities. If you’re in an unmarried relationship and are facing separation, it’s important to know your rights - especially when it comes to property and financial claims.

The annual 12 (business) days of Christmas auction event has now come to an end. Having raised more than last year's fundraising and through the tremendous generosity of Scowners and clients, we had a bonus day that helped us to raise even more money! Further lots have included a festive drinks hamper, tickets to sporting events and a beautiful looking cheese hamper to name but a few. We raised a total of £1,261 for our three charities - Dementia UK, Balloons (Devon) and Children's Hospice South West. We are so grateful to everyone who was involved in this event and are already looking forward to next year's. #DoingGoodMatters #GivingBack
