Ellisons Solicitors, which has offices in Bury St Edmunds, Colchester, Chelmsford, Ipswich, and Frinton-on-Sea, raised the money throughout 2024 as part of its 260th anniversary celebrations. The money will be donated to several charities, with a particular focus on The Brain Tumour Charity and Essex Wildlife Trust.
