Our Charity and Community Support
Over the years, we’ve supported a range of local and national charities and community groups, raising money through fundraising and providing pro-bono legal services.
We’ve baked cakes, jumped out of aeroplanes and even walked across hot coals for our charities. Our staff, led by our volunteer charity committee, raise thousands of pounds every year, and we’re proud of our fundraising achievements.
Our charity of the year
We are proud to support Bristol Animal Rescue Centre as our charity of the year.
Bristol Animal Rescue Centre (Bristol A.R.C.) cares for thousands of animals every year. From cats to chameleons, and dogs to hedgehogs, they are here for animals when they need them the most.
The Barcan and Kirby Community Fund
As part of our ongoing partnerships with the local communities around our offices, we are pleased to announce the Barcan and Kirby Community Fund. The fund aims to provide local organisations with funding for community projects based in the postcodes around our offices: BS1, BS3, BS7, BS15 and BS35.
Funding of up to £1,000 per postcode is available for an individual or local not-for-profit organisation that aims to better the community around them. Examples include local community groups/centres, drama and the arts, and events.
The successful applicants for our 2025 funding are:
The Harbour provides counselling for people facing death, dying and bereavement, giving people a safe space to talk and be listened to.
Ashton Vale Club, which is supported by Young Bristol, helps local young people through out-of-school sports, and creative and developmental activities in a safe and inclusive environment where friends for life are made.
SENDaWelcome runs projects steered by people with lived experience of learning disabilities. The charity builds awareness and understanding of those living with SEND with a vision to create a community that celebrates and values neurodiversity.
Horfield Welly Pre-School (BS7)
Horfield Welly Pre-School offers a nurturing environment for children aged 2-4 years, in which each individual child is supported to achieve their potential through meaningful play experiences. The registered charity pre-school puts session fees and money raised through fundraising events back into enriching the children’s learning and development.
