Law firms team up for charity

The two firms are taking part in The Big Match on Friday afternoon in the city to help raise money for The Yard, which runs adventure play services for disabled children, young people and their families in the east of Scotland.

They will join bankers, lawyers, finance brokers, property developers and estate agents for 90 minutes of action.

Event organiser Steve Currie of Murray and Currie Property, said: “I’d like to say a huge thank-you to everyone who has made this possible. It’s particularly exciting to have former professional players taking part, while I’m sure Tom Kitchin will be demonstrating some tasty touches as well!

“Friday promises to be a great occasion which will raise vital money for The Yard which offers disabled children and young people and their families the chance to experience creative and adventurous indoor and outdoor play in a well-supported environment.”

Celine Sinclair is chief executive of The Yard, which is based in the centre of Edinburgh with other sites in Dundee and Kirkcaldy, and she said: “We are incredibly grateful to be chosen as a charity partner for The Big Match, the money raised will go a long way towards helping us deliver vital services for disabled children and their families.

“We directly support over 2300 children and young people from 16 different local authorities, and are reliant on fundraising as well as governmental support. A huge thank you to everyone who’s involved in this charity match, we’re hugely appreciative of the support. And, good luck to the teams on Friday.”
