CWHLS CSR & Pro Bono Committee

After a year’s hiatus due to the pandemic, the CWHLS CSR & Pro Bono Committee returned in 2022, welcoming new Chair Debjani Biswas-Hawkes (Head of Not-for-Profits Programme and Secondary Specialisation at LawWorks – the Solicitors Pro Bono Group).

The Committee renewed its focus on supporting locals to access justice, creating a signposting page on the CWHLS website for members of the public to find local legal advice services.

In the months ahead, the Committee will be looking for opportunities to link the Society’s members with rewarding volunteering opportunities, including taking part in ULaw’s mentoring scheme. For more information on this, please contact csr.pro.bono.cwhls@gmail.com.

The Committee thanked Caitlin Farrar for her time as Secretary. It is now looking for a new Secretary and welcomes expressions of interest, to be sent to csr.pro.bono.cwhls@gmail.com.
