The Bristol office of international law firm Womble Bond Dickinson has staged a Christmas Fayre promoting the work of young entrepreneurs as part of its on-going support for The Prince’s Trust.
Artists, illustrators, jewellers and landscape architects had the opportunity to display their arts and crafts while visitors enjoyed mulled wine and mince pies to raise much-needed funds for the national youth charity. 
Womble Bond Dickinson legal director Ewen Macgregor said: “We’ve been hosting the Christmas Fayre for The Prince’s Trust for two consecutive years now and we have been amazed by the talent, ingenuity and endeavour shown by the young entrepreneurs.
“As a patron for the Trust, it is just as important for us to promote the work of the young people it aims to support as it is to provide financial support.”
He said The Prince’s Trust ethos mirrored the firm’s commitment to supporting disadvantaged individuals in areas of employment, education and entrepreneurship.
Since May 2013, it has supported the Trust through mentoring, volunteering and various fundraising campaigns, raising more than £250,000 for the charity.
Prince’s Trust South of England director Rozzy Amos added: “On behalf of the team at The Prince’s Trust I would like to say a huge thank you to Womble Bond Dickinson for its continued support and the success of the recent Christmas Fayre.
“It was a great opportunity for the talented young entrepreneurs to showcase their products and to demonstrate the impact the Trust can have in supporting young people to achieve their goals.”
The Prince’s Trust – Womble Bond Dickinson’s chosen national charity – helps disadvantaged young people get their lives on track. It supports 11 to 30 year olds who are unemployed, struggling with school or at risk of exclusion and who are facing issues like homelessness, mental health, or have been in trouble with the law.
The Trust’s programmes give vulnerable young people the practical and financial support they need to stabilise their lives, helping develop self-esteem and skills for work.
