Furley Page solicitors raise £30,000 for Pilgrims Hospices in their 300th year!
Local solicitor firm, Furley Page celebrated a very special milestone in 2025 – their 300th anniversary. Each year, the team choose a charity to support as part of a charity of the year partnership, and for 2025, Pilgrims Hospices was their choice.
The law firm has a rich history dating back to 1725 and is one of the oldest legal practices in the world. To mark the celebrations, colleagues from across the firm committed to various fundraising events, including associate Rosie Eastwood and solicitor Tom Swann who climbed the National Three Peaks in 24 hours, raising £4,160. Other activities included a Dragon Boat Race, the Canterbury 10-mile race, the Whitstable 10k, Furley Fest, a beach clean-up and volunteering in the Pilgrims charity shop, Store 50 in Canterbury.
The Pilgrims Charity Golf Day, which takes place at Canterbury Golf Club in September, was also supported by Furley Page as headline sponsor. Their flags and banners were visible across the fairway, and colleagues entered a team to the event.
Jeremy Licence, Furley Page’s managing partner, said: “This has been an extraordinary year for Furley Page. We are so pleased to have shared our celebrations across the community and I’m very proud of our fundraising efforts for Pilgrims Hospices, an extremely worthy cause,”
The year of celebrations culminated at the Gulbenkian in Canterbury with a premiere of a short film showing the firm’s history, titled “Furley Page: 300 Years and Counting.’
Leila Ilkhan, Corporate and Trusts Partnerships Manager at Pilgrims, said:
“We are incredibly grateful to Furley Page for this wonderful donation. It was a proud moment to accept the cheque from Aaron Spencer [Partner and Head of Private Client and Chair of the Furley Page Foundation] and to explain how their support will impact hundreds of patients and their families who receive support from the hospice.”
