John Fowlers Solicitors are proud to support many charities, organisations and community initiatives, both local and national.
By supporting these charities and projects, John Fowlers Solicitors hope to help make a positive difference to the lives of people within our local community across Essex and Suffolk.
Macmillan Cancer Support: Macmillan Coffee Mornings have become an annual fixture at John Fowlers Solicitors. Since 2015 we have continued to support Macmillan, raising on average £800 each year. In 2024 we raised £411 and in 2025 we raised £500 for the charity. Macmillan help to ensure that those affected by cancer do not have to face it alone.
Will Aid: Will Aid is a special partnership between the legal profession and nine of the UK’s best-loved charities. Every November, participating solicitors waive their fee for writing a basic Will. Instead, they invite their clients to make a donation to Will Aid.
Cancer Research: We were delighted to be awarded the Bronze Award from Cancer Research UK for raising £255,325 for the charity through gifts in Wills. This money contributes towards vital research in the fight against cancer. Members of the firm have also taken part in Race for Life events over the years to support the charity.
Mayors Charities: In 2025, we helped the Mayor of Colchester, Julie Young to raise money for local charities. We have attended events and sponsored the Colchester United vs Ipswich Town pre-season friendly game. This took place at the Weston Homes Community Stadium. The charities that proceeds were donated to were the Rob George Foundation, Beacon House, Open Road, Signpost and The Invicta Foundation.
The Robin Cancer Trust: Since 2023 we have proudly supported The Robin Cancer Trust through sponsorship of the Colchester Half Marathon, helping raise awareness of early cancer detection and supporting young people across the region.
East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices: We organised a charity golf day bringing together local businesses in support of East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices, raising £6,030 for the charity’s work supporting children and families.
Breast Cancer Awareness: The firm held a Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Day and office bake sale, raising £667.20 for the cause.
Community Initiatives: We have partnered with The 500 Club to sponsor the production of 500 Christmas LEGO books which were distributed to children in local schools and hospitals. We also supported the Colchester Christmas Light Switch-On Parade, involving over 900 participants from local community groups, and sponsored Santa’s Grotto at Fingringhoe School PTA Christmas Fayre.
