Introducing Firm Friends: Standing together for solicitor wellbeing
Since 1858, The Solicitors’ Charity has been there for solicitors in difficult times – offering confidential, compassionate support when it’s needed most. But today, demand for help is rising faster than ever, while traditional sources of funding are under increasing pressure.
That’s why we’ve launched Firm Friends – a new way for the legal sector to come together, show leadership, and make sure no solicitor faces hardship alone.
What is Firm Friends?
Firm Friends is our voluntary giving initiative, open to law firms, suppliers, insurers, technology providers and sector allies of all sizes. By joining, your organisation makes a commitment to solicitor wellbeing – and helps fund the essential services that keep people in the profession supported, resilient and ready to thrive.
Why it matters?
Solicitors are the backbone of access to justice – but behind every role are real people facing real challenges. Burnout, redundancy, financial strain, health issues and personal loss are becoming increasingly common. That’s where The Solicitors’ Charity steps in – providing holistic support across emotional, professional, physical and financial wellbeing.
The benefits of becoming a Firm Friend
- Be recognised as a supporter of solicitor wellbeing through a digital badge, certificate and acknowledgement across our channels
- Gain early access to wellbeing webinars and resources for your team
- Join a community shaping the future of wellbeing in the legal sector
- Show your clients, colleagues and networks that care and compassion are part of your culture
Whether you contribute as a Supporter, Advocate, or Pioneer, your commitment makes a real difference. Every voluntary donation helps fund direct support where it’s needed most.
- Supporter – Join the movement: A meaningful first step for organisations who want to stand in solidarity with solicitor wellbeing.
- Advocate – Fuel the mission: For those ready to go further, helping us deliver deeper, preventative support for the profession.
- Pioneer – Shape the future: A leadership-level commitment for organisations that want to co-create long-term change and set the standard for the sector.
By becoming a Founder Member at any level, your organisation will be recognised as part of the first wave leading this movement for solicitor wellbeing.
Join the movement
Firm Friends is for every organisation that believes solicitor wellbeing matters – from small firms to major sector suppliers. Together, we can create a profession where people feel safe enough to ask for help, and where support is always within reach.
