Supporting our Local Community

Proud sponsors of the Fleet Town Colts football team

Watson Thomas is the official kit sponsor for the Fleet Colts Under 12's Football Team in Fleet, Hampshire. This is a not for profit youth sports club of around 300 members, dedicated to helping raise the standards of grassroots football.

"We are delighted and extremely proud to be continuing our support to the Fleet football community through sponsorship of the Fleet Town Colts for the 2020/2021 season. Fingers crossed for some great games and lots of fun this year!"

Community Events

Watson Thomas Solicitors has sponsored many local community events over the years.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the events that we would have sponsored this year have sadly not been able to run, but we look forward to pledging further support to future events once they are able to resume.

These are some of the local community events we have supported:

Fleet Christmas Festival

The Fleet Christmas Festival will be greatly missed this year. The festival has grown in popularity over the years and attracts 1,000s of local people. Over 100 stalls offering gifts and crafts, food and drink and live family entertainment brings the community of Fleet together for an evening of festive fun. It is organised by a team of volunteers and would not be possible without the generous support of local businesses and community organisations. Watson Thomas has been the official sponsor for the live animal nativity attraction.

Fleet & District Carnival

Watson Thomas is an official sponsor of this annual event which would have been celebrating its 65th anniversary in 2020. The carnival is a firm favourite within the local community and brings families and friends together whilst raising money for charity. We sincerely hope that Fleet & District Carnival can run in 2021.

The Advanced Family Law Accreditation

We are delighted to confirm that Rosanna Hounslow, Family Solicitor, has been awarded the Advanced Family Law Accreditation by the Law Society. The Advanced Family Law Accreditation entitles those holding the accreditation to hold themselves out as an expert in a given area of family law.

To achieve this Rosanna had to first obtain the Law Society’s Family Law Accreditation and having worked in the area of Family Law even prior to beginning her training contract Rosanna applied for the Family Law Accreditation as soon as she could and was successful in February 2015.

The Family Law Accreditation shows that members have and will maintain the required level of competence and knowledge, as defined by the Law Society, in the area of family law.
Following on from this, Rosanna then applied for and was successful, in September 2019, in achieving the Advanced Family Law Accreditation in the areas of children law private and advice in and conduct of ancillary relief. This means that Rosanna has met the required standard and demonstrated an in-depth knowledge and understanding in both of these areas of law and can hold herself out as an expert accordingly.
