This week is Pro Bono Week! Pro Bono Week offers an opportunity to recognise and support the voluntary contribution made by the legal profession across the UK in giving free legal help to those in need.

Samantha, Harry and all of us at The Divorce Surgery are hugely supportive of the charity Advocate and the need to ensure access to justice for all.

Here are some of the themes taking place for this year:

– Changing lives through pro bono: Exploring how and why lawyers and law students across the UK transform lives through pro bono, including celebrating inspiring examples of pro bono and exploring the business case for legal volunteering.

– Maximising the impact of pro bono: An opportunity to think about how to measure pro bono and to maximise its impact through, for example, collaborative projects responding to crises; focussing early advice on debt or housing; partnerships with the healthcare sector; incorporating evaluation into projects.

– Pro bono within ESG: From climate to sustainable development. Pro bono will be explored as a pillar of an Environmental, Social, and Governance strategy, including how lawyers can help tackle the climate crisis, and how the Sustainable Development Goals can be championed.
