Celebrating pro bono

The theme of this year’s UK Pro Bono Week, taking place on 4–8 November, is ‘the power of pro bono’

It will focus on three topics: ‘barred from justice’, showcasing everyday stories of the impact pro bono work has on the lives of clients; ‘embedding pro bono’, placing it at the heart your organisation and career; and ‘technology’, highlighting tech that enhances access to justice.

Toby Brown, chair of UK Pro Bono Week, said: ‘Across the country there’s a wealth of valuable pro bono work being done every day by the UK’s legal professionals.’
