Burges Salmon has hosted an event celebrating the charities that the firm has supported in its fundraising activities on the theme of ‘No Child Goes Hungry’.
On Tuesday 21 June, members of Burges Salmon hosted an event giving individuals the opportunity to meet and engage with representatives from Fareshare South West, Square Food Foundation, St Werburghs Community Centre, Borderlands, Young Bristol and Baggator Nexus to celebrate the successes and positive impact the donations from the firm have made.
The firm’s Charity Committee hosted a stall to encourage feedback on recent events, promote upcoming events and volunteering opportunities to get involved with.
Other charities that the firm has supported on this theme to date, include Edinburgh Food Project, Hopscotch, Bristol Local Food Fund, and 91 Ways, to name but a few.
Giving back to the community is integral to Burges Salmon’s firm-wide strategy; it is a crucial part of the firm’s culture and its people are encouraged to contribute through volunteering, charitable fundraising, offering pro bono legal advice, as well as taking up board-level trustee and school governor opportunities.
