Corporate Social Responsibility

Alongside our day-to-day legal work, we are committed to making a positive impact on the communities that we work with.

Our aim is to give something back to some of the most vulnerable people in our society and to those who support local businesses.

We’re also the proud sponsor of several incredible local sports teams and clubs, including Woodhouse Grange Cricket Club, Pocklington RUFC and Markington Cricket Club.

Below is an overview of just some of the ways that we have helped local organisations and causes in the past.
