SOUTHAMPTON law firm Trethowans has raised more than £6,500 for the Spinal Injuries Association with a fundraising dinner and auction. 

The event, organised by the firm’s personal injury team, raised the highest total in its three year history. 

The highest bid in the auction was £1,500 for a Williams Formula 1 racing suit signed by Brazilian driver Felipe Massa. 

Rhiannon Daniel, a Trethowans senior associate who helped organise the event, said: “We are delighted to have raised so much money for this worthwhile cause.

"Knowing the work that the charity does makes raising the money even more rewarding.”
