LawCare: The Big Give

LawCare, the charity that supports lawyers and their families with mental health, stress and addiction issues, has launched a Christmas fundraising appeal

It has already hit its initial £5,000 target ahead of The Big Give Christmas Challenge from 1-8 December and hopes to raise £10,000 during the week. Demand for LawCare’s service rises year on year, and is expected to surge next year as the impact of COVID-19 sinks in. 

Spread the word using the hashtag #ChristmasChallenge20 and donate via the link: lawcare.org.uk/christmas.
