BASICS Essex thanks Chelmsford-based Gepp Solicitors for ongoing fundraising success.

At BASICS Essex, our volunteer clinicians provide pre-hospital critical care across the county, which is completely funded by the generosity of public and corporate fundraising and sponsorship.

Since 2023, Chelmsford-based Gepp Solicitors has been working with BASICS Essex as a charity partner, contributing to over £3,500 in fundraising contributions.

Miranda Best, Business Development and Marketing Director at Gepp Solicitors, said;

“We were on a look out for an exciting local charity that is driving impact in our community and that received minimal government funding. BASICS Essex met all these needs, and the team were very keen to meet and inspire colleagues.”

In a passionate presentation, BASICS Essex Chairman Paul Gates kicked off the relationship by sharing stories of how volunteer clinicians are dedicated to providing pre-hospital critical care and saving lives while supporting the East of England Ambulance Service. NHS Trust

Over the past three years, Gepp Solicitor colleagues have fundraised through a series of activities including Quizzes, Just Giving donations and Christmas Cards, alongside a challenging trek across the Lake District.

Miranda added, “The one thing I love about this sort of CSR activity is that it really brings the team together. It has been a real team effort and I’m incredibly proud of colleagues who have supported this incredible charity.
