Legal News Wales is delighted to announce that we are working in partnership with the Access to Justice Foundation to share insight and knowledge on its work and the value of the Foundation in society as well as to help inspire valuable relationships with the legal profession in Wales.
As our latest Community Partner, we’re looking forward to sharing the Foundation’s initiatives and its impact on communities in Wales and to highlight the often forgotten, simple yet highly valuable ways in which your practice can support the charity, beyond the annual Reaching Justice Wales Legal Walks.
Clare Carter, Joint Chief Executive at the Access to Justice Foundation, said:
She added:
“In addition to increasing the availability of vital free legal advice for the people of Wales, through a range of fundraising initiatives, our work will fund early interventions that are aimed at breaking the cycle of disadvantage that results from the current lack of accessible support.”
Over the year we’ll explore these initiatives and ways in which your firm can support the work of the Foundation, how your support counts in local communities at a time when many are struggling with increasing financial pressures and the impact of the pandemic.
