PETERSFIELD solicitors Macdonald Oates of St Peters Road has raised thousands for the Sussex Snowdrop Trust, which provides nursing care at home for local children who have a life-threatening illness, or who may be terminally ill.

Solicitors spokesman Deborah Wood said: “We raised the money through fundraising events like sponsored bike rides, and one of our solicitors also took part in the London Marathon and raised more than £3,000.”
