Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

It was with overwhelming sadness that we announced the sudden and tragic passing of our Ellie, esteemed director, colleague, and friend 💔

Ellie Parr was a much loved and valued member of the firm and we are deeply heartbroken by her passing. She made significant contributions to the firm’s success and was an inspirational leader to all the team.

She worked tirelessly in creating a family work culture and it is thanks to her that the Houldsworth’s team has achieved this. We will forever be grateful to Ellie for her hard work, dedication, and friendship.

We will miss her many qualities - her technical excellence in commercial law, guidance, pragmatic approach, and fun-loving sense of humour.

Our hearts go out to her beautiful family - her husband Dan and her amazing children Arthur (Art) and Edith, her beloved parents, her sister Di, and her many, many friends.

On Saturday 4th October we are lacing up our walking boots for a cause very close to our hearts.

We'd love you to join us on a sponsored pub walk in memory of our much-missed colleague and friend and help raise money for our chosen charity, East Lancashire Hospice. (Some of you might remember we were proud winners of the hospice Corporate Challenge a few years back!)

The day will kick off at 10am at The Black Bull Old Langho, with bacon or sausage butties and a brew to fuel the start of our walk.

We will then head off on a scenic pub route, finishing at West Bradford Village Hall for food, drinks and a well-earned rest.

Ellie's husband, Dan, along with her family and friends, will be joining us too.

How you can get involved:

Join us for the full day and do the walk with us

Or, just come along to the Village Hall from 6pm to show your support.

Alternatively you can just make a donation.

Entry is £50 per person which includes your breakfast, evening food, and donation. You can pay this yourself or raise it through sponsorship.

To join the walk and get your place (and your free t-shirt) please email amanda@houldsworthsolicitors.co.uk and let us know your t-shirt size.

We really want to make this a special day full of laughter and happy memories, just as Ellie would have wanted.

Our Ellie forever 42, forever here with her Team Houldsworths – we will continue to make you proud ♥️
