Law Society RFC 7s & Netball Tournament announce partnership with LawCare for 2023

Legal mental health and wellbeing charity partners with tournament for third year

The Law Society RFC has announced its continued support of LawCare, the legal mental health and wellbeing charity, for the 2023 tournament. LawCare has been the charity partner of the tournament for the past three years.

LawCare have set teams the challenge of raising £250 this year, which they are hoping will be matched by their firms. The firm who raises the most will be announced on the day and win a special prize for their efforts.

This year’s tournament will be held on Sunday 17 September at Richmond Athletic Ground, and with 44 law and financial services firms already signed up to take part, it looks as though it will be another record breaking event.

Tournament director Daniel How commented: ‘Having secured LTN & Partners as our headline sponsor earlier in the year, we couldn’t be happier to confirm our continued support of LawCare and the great work they do in the legal profession. We’re asking firms to engage with the charity this year more closely, by raising funds, and are hopeful that this will lead to a bit of competition to see which firm can raise the most money!’’
