@EmmaBoffey @AxiomAdvocates @SimmonsLLP @BPPGroup @WeAreAdvocate @RAMFELCharity Chair of Pro Bono Week @TobyBrownUK praises the "strategic ways of doing pro bono" we've heard about this evening, but adds, "what strikes me is the personal stories - ways in which legal professionals across the country can make a powerful contribution."

Sheriff Labaki has been instrumental in the Tumbling Lassie project, which has raised a lot of money since inception in 2015 for causes devoted to tackling modern slavery and trafficking. @FacultyScot is very proud to support the Tumbling Lassie.

This might just be Edinburgh’s best @taylorswift13 story — Devon, 11, has spent months making hundreds of friendship bracelets to hand out to the elderly to include them in The Eras Tour craze. If you see her at #EdinburghTSTheErasTour N3, say hi! 🫶🏻 @taylornation13
