Gullands Solicitor behind bars for charity


Gullands Solicitors in Maidstone are keen on their charity law Kent so one of the legal representative’s is trading his freedom for 24 hours in a prison cell at Maidstone Police Station. Spencer Stacy is not doing this for fun but to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support, Spencer is a qualified Police Station Representative in the criminal team at Gullands Kent; this must have been a challenge for him as his normal day is spent representing people in police custody!

Spencer Stacey says: “People are often taking part in a sponsored walk, run or bike ride to raise money for charity but I wanted to do something a bit different. The majority of my professional life is spent in police custody suites representing those who have been arrested and trying to secure their release. I thought it would raise interest and money to spend 24 hours behind bars, which is also the maximum amount of time a suspect can be held in the first instance.”

Cancer is one of the most common causes of death which affects so many families in the UK; it’s good to know that people such as Spencer Stacey are willing to help charities who are saving lives every day.  Hopefully enough money will be raised to pay a nurse for a week.

Gullands Kent does not only represent property law or notarial services in Kent but they are well equipped to advise on all aspects of charities.
