In case you somehow missed it, we are thrilled to be taking over Wimborne Cricket Club for the third year running in June.

We’re looking forward to bringing fans, players, legends and communities together in what’s shaping up to be another unforgettable match!

In an exciting collaboration, law firm Frettens Solicitors will be joining us as headline partner on the day, supporting in every way they can and helping out with fundraising.

But who are Frettens? What do they do? And what motivated them to get involved? Let’s find out!

Who are Frettens?

Frettens are a full-service law firm who assist clients across the country, delivering advice in a clear and concise way.

What separates Frettens from their competitors is their approach. Frettens pride themselves on being bright, modern and accessible, prioritising an approachable yet professional client experience.

It’s this approach, coupled with their expertise, that has led to them becoming one of the best reviewed firms in the country on ReviewSolicitors, the UK’s biggest independent solicitor review site.

Frettens have also been recognised as a ‘leading firm’ by the Legal 500, the UK’s largest and most in-depth survey of the legal market.

What do Frettens do?

Frettens have a large portfolio of commercial clients, assisting them with Business Contracts, Sales & Purchases, Commercial Property, Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR) and Employment.

As a growing and ambitious business themselves, Frettens understand the challenges that owners face. They specialise in supporting owner-managed businesses and SMEs throughout their business growth through to eventual exit, delivering timely advice in plain English.

Frettens also offer a comprehensive range of services for individuals, including Conveyancing, Wills & Tax, Divorce, Dispute Resolution and more. Recently, they have seen an influx of Contentious Probate, Inheritance Tax and Buy-To-Let work.

What prompted Frettens to sponsor Lashings?

“We had our own table at the Wimborne CC match last summer, and had an absolutely fantastic time alongside our guests.” said Mathew Fretten, Managing Partner at Frettens.

“We were blown away by how well-organised the event was, loved meeting the legends, and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know everyone at the Lashings team.

We truly believe in this event, so jumped at the chance to partner with Lashings and get more involved this year.

Plus, we now have the perfect opportunity to raise funds for our charity partners MYTIME, who do some amazing work with young carers across the country. We absolutely cannot wait!”

 

Fundraising

As Matthew mentioned, we will be fundraising for Dorset-based charity MYTIME Young Carers on the day, hoping to raise as much as we can for what is an incredible cause.

MYTIME aim to support and ‘level the playground’ for young carers across the country, who typically face more challenges and hardship than most young people.

A young carer is a child between the age of 5 and 18 who provides care for another person of any age, such as their parent, brother, sister, or grandparent. Recent figures suggest 1 in 12 children are young carers.

To combat the challenges they face, MYTIME offer a series of programmes to improve school support, assist with further education and employment, and help young carers make valuable memories.

Frettens have supported MYTIME since 2022, through events, volunteering, fundraising and organised walks. As part of our partnership with Frettens, they suggested we too get involved with MYTIME, and we can’t wait to help them in any way we can in June.
