Impact in our Communities

Fieldfisher’s Community programme empowers people to address local and global issues. Over 2023/24, we have focused on supporting broad and varied sustainable impact projects in partnership with a diverse group of charity partners.

Some highlights include:

• At Manchester Youth Zone, our funds contributed towards 48,000 free meals being served to young people, 1,716 hours of general services support being delivered to children and young people, and over 100 young people receiving intensive one-to-one assistance to help them challenge barriers. Additionally, colleagues offered young people a chance to explore various business services roles within a law firm. One participant, inspired by this experience, has gone on to pursue a career in HR and is working as a level 3 apprentice.
• In Dublin, our donations for ARC Cancer Support Centres have funded 846 acupuncture sessions and their mindfulness programme.
• London’s charity partner, PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide, made their suicide helpline open 24/7 for the first time. Our donations also continued to support their range of suicide prevention training sessions, in which our people participated in early 2024.
• In Silicon Valley, funds were directed to Hamilton Families, which enabled them to temporarily shelter a family.
• In Germany, we partnered with Chancenwerk e.V., with donations supporting 42 new young people to benefit from the peer-led mentoring and learning programme.

Looking forward, we will continue with our fundraising efforts for existing and new charity partners, as well as evolving our skills-based volunteering opportunities, working with international civil society organisations to strengthen environmental and social impact solutions and seeking to track and report on our impact.
