At Consilia Legal, we believe in giving back to the community, and we are delighted to announce that our Charity of the Year for 2025 is Melanie’s Miles of Hope. This incredible charity was founded in memory of Melanie Hartley, an inspiring woman who showed immense courage and determination throughout her battle with cancer. Her legacy now lives on through this organisation, which provides meaningful support to individuals and families affected by cancer across Yorkshire.
Why We Chose Melanie’s Miles of Hope
Melanie Hartley was a remarkable individual who faced her diagnosis with incredible strength. Despite the challenges she endured, she remained committed to helping others in similar situations. Her vision was to create a charity that offered practical and emotional support, giving cancer patients access to resources that could improve their quality of life. From financial assistance for essential treatments and therapies to providing special moments for families, Melanie’s Miles of Hope continues to make a tangible difference.
Laura Clapton, Director and Co Founder at Consilia Legal said “Melanie was more than an inspiration—she was a force of nature. Despite facing unimaginable challenges, she poured her energy into helping others, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, resilience, and hope. Supporting Melanie’s Miles of Hope is our way of honouring her incredible spirit and ensuring that her mission continues to change lives.”
Making an Impact
The charity focuses on delivering direct support to those in need, whether that’s funding equipment to enhance patient care, providing mobility aids, or helping families create lasting memories together. Some of the ways Melanie’s Miles of Hope has already helped include:
- Supporting local hospices with vital equipment to improve patient comfort.
- Assisting individuals with the financial burden of treatment-related expenses.
