A law firm in Mold has raised more than £100 for a children's charity by selling cupcakes.

The staff at Swayne Johnson's new office sold cakes at the town market to contribute to the children's charity Hope House/Ty Gobaith.

The charity organises "Eat Cake" events across North Wales and bordering counties.

These events help youngsters with life-limiting conditions.

Gill's Puddings donated a variety of cupcakes which were sold at £1 each, raising more than £120 for the cause.

One of their customers at the event was Mold Town councillor and former mayor Haydn Jones.

Mr Jones said: "When I was Mayor a couple of years ago I gave some of my charity money for Hope House, it’s such an important charity for this area so I am delighted that Swayne Johnson are supporting them.

"My donation as Mayor started the ball rolling here and we now have a Mold Group for Hope House and I am the Chair and I’m pleased to see that Swayne Johnson’s stall has a marquee lent to them by the Council.

“There are posters of many of the young people they have helped in the shop here on the High Street and one of them is a young boy, Oliver, who is the grandson of one of my best friends and Hope House have helped him and his family so much."

Lisa Harbour, a family law expert, organised the eat cake event on Swayne Johnson's behalf.

Ms Harbour said: "It’s for Hope House/Ty Gobaith which is a great charity.

"Supporting Hope House is also important for us – many of the firm’s employees are parents themselves and supporting a children and family charity is only natural and Swayne Johnson wants to support the wonderful work that is being carried out by Hope House/Ty Gobaith right across North Wales, Cheshire and Shropshire."

Michelle Lanham, an employee at the firm said: "We have a stock of plenty of cupcakes in the office - we have had 200 donated by a bakery and they’re going very well despite the weather.

"We only opened in Mold earlier this year but we always have a commitment to the areas where we have branches and like to get involved with local charities and good causes."

Swayne Johnson is a long-standing law firm, founded in Denbigh more than 150 years ago.
