Other organisations to have benefitted from George Ide’s golden anniversary initiative, which throughout the year saw £5 donated from every bill exceeding £150 plus VAT, include St. Wilfrid’s Hospice, homeless charity Stonepillow, and the city’s New Park Community and Arts Association.

Ursula Watt, George Ide partner and private client department head, said: “We are delighted to support this extremely worthwhile cause.

“Dementia often has a devastating effect on families and will directly affect most of us in some way at some point in our lives. The work done at the charity’s Salisbury House centre focusses on supporting sufferers in our immediate area and delivers valuable care within our local community.”

Looking back on the firm’s golden anniversary fiftieth year, Ursula said: “All of us at George Ide are both humbled and inspired to have been able to make such a significant contribution to the community that our firm has served for more than five decades.
