Our charity of the year is £1500 pounds better off this year

the hinge in havenfield

Back in July 2018 our staff were asked to choose a charity to support for the next 12 months, and The Hinge was chosen.


The Hinge centre is a small, local charity based in the heart of the Havenfield estate in Bridlington. Their aim is to provide support, guidance, services and opportunities to those facing social and financial deprivation. The Hinge Centre is committed to ensuring support is available to some of the most vulnerable members of society.


Our staff have had numerous cake sales, office bake off competitions, staff have crocheted bags to sell and we held our 80th Birthday Ball to raise the total amount of £1,500.00 for this fantastic local charity.


The Hinge are using this money to purchase a projector with accessories to be used for in house training, external presentations and use within their children and independent living groups. The rest of the money will be used for equipment and ingredients for their many groups held. 


Thank you to all our staff for their generous donations and all the effort put in to organising the fundraising events.

Buying a home is often one of the biggest financial commitments you'll ever make. Yet for many buyers and sellers, the process can feel frustratingly slow, uncertain, and stressful. With property transactions in England and Wales frequently taking months to complete and around one in three sales failing before completion, the UK Government has now proposed a series of reforms aimed at modernising the homebuying process. But what do these proposed changes actually mean for you as a buyer or seller?  At Pinkney Grunwells Lawyers, we take a closer look at the reforms and explain how they could affect future property transactions.

Workplace Temperatures: Is It Too Hot or Too Cold to Work?

June 25, 2026
Whether you're working in an office, warehouse, construction site or from another workplace, uncomfortable temperatures can affect health, wellbeing and productivity. During periods of extreme weather, employees often ask whether there is a legal temperature at which work must stop.  The short answer is that UK law does not set a maximum workplace temperature. However, employers still have legal duties to ensure employees can work in conditions that are safe and reasonably comfortable.
