On Friday 15th May, members of our team spent the afternoon volunteering at St Ann’s Well Gardens in Hove, helping care for one of the city’s much loved green spaces.

Armed with secateurs, rakes and gardening forks, we cleared five huge bags of brambles, bindweed, stinging nettles and overgrown foliage, all while navigating a chilly afternoon and the occasional May rain shower.

As a Brighton based firm, supporting the local community is something that matters deeply to us. It was a brilliant opportunity to step away from our desks, work together in a different environment and contribute to a space that means so much to local residents.

A huge thank you to the team at St Ann’s Well Gardens and Brighton & Hove City Council for having us.

Benefits for Autistic Children with ADHD: Understanding Disability Living Allowance.

Many families caring for an autistic child with ADHD are entitled to financial support through Disability Living Allowance (DLA), but the claims process can often feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate.

In this blog, Renaissance Legal's Welfare Benefits Adviser Nicola Spruce explains how DLA works for autistic children under 16 with ADHD, including what support may qualify, how DLA can open the door to other benefits, and practical tips for completing a successful claim. The guide also shares useful examples to help families explain the level of care, supervision and support their child needs day to day.

Purchasing a Property in a Trust: A Practical Guide for Families and Trustees.

Ensuring that a disabled or vulnerable family member has long term, secure and suitable housing is a key concern for many families. Purchasing a property through a Trust can provide stability and protection, while allowing flexibility to adapt to changing needs over time.

In this blog, Director Katherine Miller explains how buying a property within a Trust works in practice, including the types of Trusts commonly used and the key responsibilities of Trustees. The guide also outlines important legal, financial and tax considerations to help families make informed decisions about a loved one’s future.
