Shared commitment to support the legal community
When it comes to supporting the legal profession in hard times, we’re very proud to count on Bournemouth & District Law Society for its steadfast commitment.
As one of our long-term advocates, Bournemouth & District Law Society is a pillar of support within the legal community, not only advocating for the interests of its members but also extending its generosity to giving to our charity and make a difference to solicitors in times of need. For several years, the Bournemouth Law Society has donated to The Solicitors’ Charity, recognising the essential role we play in the legal profession. This enduring partnership reflects our shared commitment to uphold the values of mutual aid and community support among solicitors.
“It is something we have done for many years now, and we are proud to support this essential and much-needed cause,” says Mandy Heath, Office Manager at Bournemouth & District Law Society. “We believe it’s important to be consistent in our charitable efforts, ensuring that resources are available to solicitors when they need them the most.”
Bournemouth & District Law Society appreciates the significance of our mission to provide vital financial assistance to solicitors, acting as a safety net during periods of personal or professional setback, as it aligns with their own goal of supporting their members in every possible way.
“We feel it is important to do something to help The Solicitors’ Charity as it provides a lifeline to those needing support with emotional, physical, professional, and financial wellbeing,” explains Mandy.
It’s heartening that Bournemouth & District Law Society supports us as an extension of their mission to aid solicitors throughout their careers, helping to foster a culture of empathy and solidarity among legal professionals.
Bournemouth & District Law Society encourages other law societies across England and Wales to consider similar donations (voluntary and RCBs) or support of other kinds, like highlighting The Solicitors’ Charity in the local magazine or website with a topical piece.
“It is imperative that local law societies assist The Solicitors’ Charity in spreading the word about their work and support them in whatever way they can,” Mandy adds.
Our collaboration with Bournemouth & District Law Society demonstrates how law societies can help us build a robust network of support, ensuring solicitors have access to the resources they need in times of hardship, to improve their wellbeing. Together, we can make a significant difference in improving the lives of solicitors.
