Law firm Browne Jacobson has donated more than £36,000 to 20 good causes through fundraising across its UK network of offices organised by its charitable arm.
Fundraising through its Browne Jacobson Charitable Trust over the last year took place for charities near to each of its six offices, which are based in Birmingham, Cardiff, Exeter, London, Manchester and Nottingham.
Support has been prioritised among good causes that its staff have a strong connection to.
This includes its Birmingham office raising £2,000 for Child Brain Injury Trust’s Give a Child A Chance fund.
Meanwhile Exeter charity Jay’s Aim – Helping Young Hearts benefitted from £3,000 from local Browne Jacobson workers to support its work to reduce the number of young people who die of sudden cardiac arrests in the South West of England.
“We want to make a meaningful, positive impact within our communities by supporting a diverse range of charities,” said Browne Jacobson managing partner Richard Medd.
“By developing a community action plan to manage our charitable activities, we are able to target charities with shared values and purpose, while putting our people at the heart of this strategy means those who put the effort into fundraising feel even more incentivised to support these great causes.”
Fundraising activities throughout the past year included bake sales, half marathons, pet photograph competitions, quiz nights and Euro 2024-themed football contests.
The firm’s charitable arm recently selected Broxtowe Youth Homelessness as its Nottingham office charity partner and Bow Foodbank as its London office charity partner for summer 2025 onwards. The vote for its other office charity partners will take place later this year.
