Since then, we have developed and supported a network of over 300 independent free legal advice clinics; facilitated free legal support for charities for more than 20 years through our Not-for-Profits Programme; reached thousands of volunteers, advisers and others in the legal and not-for-profit advice sectors through our training programme and enabled them to learn new skills; and launched several digital platforms to increase pro bono engagement in the UK.

Our mission, however, has remained the same: to enable access to justice through the facilitation of pro bono engagement. As we celebrate this significant milestone, LawWorks Chief Executive Rebecca Wilkinson shares a message:
‘LawWorks was established 25 years ago by a group of solicitors who recognised the potential of professional volunteering to make a tangible positive impact on society.
LawWorks is powered by the dedication of our members, donors and stakeholders to pro bono. We are immensely proud to have enabled so many volunteers to make a difference in the communities where they work and live; and to have cultivated a wide-reaching network of partner organisations--including law firms, law schools, advice agencies, not-for-profits and others--who share our vision.
The last few years have brought unprecedented challenges, but we have responded by working harder than ever to ensure free legal support is available to those who need it, including leveraging digital platforms and tools to enable remote service delivery.
As we enter our 25th year with renewed commitment to advancing access to justice, I would like to thank all those who make this vital work possible. With your support, we will continue to champion and support pro bono legal services for the next 25 years.’
LawWorks relies on charitable funding, including donations, grants, and legacy gifts to deliver our services. Please make a donation today if you are able, or contact us to discuss other ways to support LawWorks.
