Law Society confirms three more years of funding for LawCare
News
The Law Society of England and Wales has announced three more years of funding for LawCare, helping us continue our work to support better mental health across the legal sector.
The funding will support our work providing support services, training and resources, as well as our work to prevent poor mental health across the legal sector.
I am proud to announce the Law Society’s continued funding of LawWorks and LawCare, two charities which do so much to support members of the public and solicitors.
Lawyers face intense pressures including long working hours, heavy workloads and burnout. Supporting the wellbeing of solicitors is a key priority for the Law Society.
LawCare, through its Life in the Law research, support services, training and advocacy, helps legal professionals lead better and more fulfilling lives while building their career.
– Louise Hanson, executive director of membership and external affairs at the Law Society
Continuing this commitment to LawCare for another three years sends a strong message about the importance of mental health and wellbeing across the legal profession.
It means we can keep supporting people while also working to prevent poor mental health across the sector.
– Trish McLellan, interim chief executive at LawCare,
The Law Society has also announced continued funding for LawWorks.
