Community and Event News: April 2026
Throughout the year, Fosters Solicitors hosts and attends a variety of events in association with our business and community partners, as well as undertaking activities to support the well-being of our colleagues and our wider local community network.
April was filled with activity across the firm, from community celebrations and networking events to supporting our partners and recognising some fantastic achievements.
Anglian Combination cup matches
As the 2025–26 local football season drew to a close, our partners at the Anglian Combination Football League hosted their annual cup competitions – the CS Morley Cup Final, Cyril Ballyn Cup Final and Mummery Cup. Colleagues Jordan Rodwell, Tyler Clayton and Kai McGreal represented the firm at the matches.
Norwich Business Women Network – Afternoon Tea
Family team colleagues Niamh Cogley and Epiphany Harewood joined the Norwich Business Women Network at the Assembly House in Norwich for their April afternoon tea event.
NNJLD Easter egg hunt
Colleagues joined the Norfolk and Norwich Junior Lawyers’ Division for their Easter egg hunt – which by the looks of this photo was a fun event!
Celebrating an incredible fundraising milestone
Thanks to our friends at the Community Sports Foundation who produced a video, we were able to celebrate the fantastic achievement of our partners at the Norwich City Fans’ Social Club, who have raised over £100,000 for the charity.
Derby Day hosting at Carrow Road
Our Business & Commercial team were delighted to host members of the East Anglia EMF Group for the East Anglian Derby at Carrow Road.
Networking and training
Colleagues from across our Residential Property and Family teams attended a range of networking and training events throughout the month. Highlights included the Norfolk Resolution Annual Training Day and AGM, the Toast ‘Big’ Breakfast events in Norwich, and the Lowestoft Business Networking meet-up in Oulton Broad.
Final Community Hero of the season
Norwich City’s final Fosters Solicitors Community Hero of the 2025/26 season was Nicol Nicholls, who completed the London Landmarks Half Marathon in support of the Community Sports Foundation. A fantastic achievement and a well-deserved recognition.
Cambridge networking event
Head of Business & Commercial, Jamie Arnall, attended a Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) event in Cambridge, supporting members with updates on key regulatory changes affecting the profession.
Wymondham Shoppers’ Spring Night Out – St Georges Day
Wymondham businesses came together to host a late-night shopping event, encouraging people to shop local while supporting arts initiatives during the half-term period and St George’s Day celebrations. We were pleased to open our doors later, hosting competitions and supporting our charity of the year, Wymondham Dementia Support Group.
Community speaking opportunities
Throughout the year, our Chief Executive, Chris Brown, accepts invitations to speak at local community groups about his career in criminal defence law. These sessions also provide an opportunity to raise awareness of our charitable work, with many groups kindly making donations to our charity of the year.
Celebrating 20 Years – Congratulations Sue!
Partner Sue Zavanaiu marked an incredible 20 years with Fosters this month. Here she is celebrating with her team at our Wymondham branch during our monthly dress-down day. A fantastic milestone – congratulations, Sue!
