A law firm has celebrated its 10th birthday by donating to 10 charities across the UK.

Blake Morgan celebrated a decade in business in July, having formed from the merger of Blake Lapthorn and Morgan Cole in 2014.

The company decided to commemorate the milestone by making donations to 10 charities across Oxford, London, Southampton, Reading, and Cardiff, where its offices are located.

Staff in each location took part in a 'bake-off', with the winner selecting a charity for the firm to donate to.

In Oxford, £250 was given to the Cowley Child Contact Centre, selected by bake-off winner and associate in the family team, Rachel Knight.

An additional £250 was donated to Dementia UK - the Oxford office's chosen charity this year.

Helen Bunker, chair at Blake Morgan, said: "I’m extremely proud to be part of Blake Morgan and of the work our team does every day.

"This anniversary is an important milestone for us and a chance to reflect on the successes of the last 10 years."

As part of the celebrations, employees were given eco-friendly water bottles made of recycled materials.

Through the purchase of the water bottles, more than 650 trees will be planted by Eden Reforestation Projects - a non-profit that works with underprivileged communities around the world to regrow forests and rebuild healthy ecosystems.
