Norwich-based solicitors Rogers and Norton have raised more than �8,000 for bereaved children's charity Nelson's Journey.

The money raised through the hard work of the solicitors produced �6,600, and by participating in the �4� match-funding promotion run by localgiving.com, the firm catapulted the total to �8,000.

Rogers and Norton held several events over the course of the year to raise funds.

A Quiz Night saw 185 guests engage in a battle of wits and a golf day saw 100 golfers take to the fairways of Sprowston Manor.

Local band, Energy, provided the backdrop to a dinner dance, together with a raffle, auction and prize-giving, when more than 100 guests attended a race night at Bawburgh Golf Club, and the year ended on a high note with a successful Christmas Raffle.

This year, on Saturday, June 2, there will be a Grand 30th Anniversary Ball for Rogers and Norton, the proceeds of which will go to Nelson's Journey.

Graham Knights, practice manager for the solicitors firm, said: 'We chose Nelson's Journey as they are local and they carry out life-changing work on little resource and they really touched us.

'We are extremely grateful to all our clients and contacts that have supported us.'
