Devon firm of solicitors, Tozers LLP, appointed FORCE cancer charity as its Charity of the Year for 2011. The first event organised in Tozers' Exeter Office last year was a Clothes Swap. Other fundraising activities included abseiling off the car park opposite the office, playing 5 rounds of golf in one day, rowing a marathon, sponsored runs, cake sales and raffles. The firm raised over £4,750 for FORCE in 2011.

Tozers LLP has now appointed a new charity of the year for 2012. The firm is very pleased to be supporting Devon Wildlife Trust in its 50th anniversary year. As well as encouraging their staff to donate time by volunteering to help Devon Wildlife Trust on its nature reserves undertaking practical jobs like bracken bashing, the firm is also putting in place a schedule of fundraising events for the year.

Vernon Clarke, partner at Tozers and a trustee for Devon Wildlife Trust, comments: "Devon Wildlife Trust is a registered charity working to make Devon a Living Landscape in which wildlife on land and in the sea is varied, plentiful and widespread. The Trust works towards this by securing the future of key wildlife sites, promoting the sustainable use of Devon's natural resources and increasing support for wildlife in the County. Tozers LLP has been a corporate sponsor of Devon Wildlife Trust for many years and has seen its membership grow from under 10,000 to over 32,000 members!"
