Spotlight Funder: Leathes Prior Solicitors Fundraises for The Matthew Project

Our Business Support Network is an invaluable part of The Matthew Project community, offering us guidance, space, and funding to help deliver our services.

We are delighted to share the efforts of Leathes Prior Solicitors (LP), a leading Norfolk law firm that supported our mental health, alcohol and substance use work at The Matthew Project in 2025.

How Leathes Prior Solicitors Supported The Matthew Project

Who are Leathes Prior Solicitors?

Founded in Norwich 150 years ago, Leathes Prior Solicitors is now one of East Anglia’s leading full-service law firms, trusted for their experience, high service levels, and the relationships we build.

One of the central pillars of their work is recognising the individual: their strength lies in the people who make up the firm - which is what we're all about at The Matthew Project.

How did Leathes Prior support The Matthew Project?

LP named us as their Charity of the Month in December, raising over £500 through engaging activities and events.

For example, on Thursday 11th December, they took part in Christmas Jumper Day to raise funds. They also held a festive bake sale featuring mince pies, Christmas tree chocolate cake, and gingerbread men!

Making an Impact: How Business Support Helps Us Deliver Our Services

We were delighted by this nomination, and have been in close contact since then to develop our professional relationship. LP were also pledgers for the first time during our Big Give Christmas Campaign.

Events & Fundraising Officer Cheryl spoke about the power of businesses like Leathes Prior Solicitors supporting The Matthew Project:

Our Services Teams are always aiming to do more: provide more support to the individuals who need it most; cover more ground across East Anglia; help our members for longer.

Contributions like these make that a reality, turning hope into action. We are incredibly grateful for Leathes Prior Solicitor's support.
