Responsible business. Positive impact
At Wards Solicitors, we aim to use our strengths, skills and resources as a business to ‘do the right thing’ and make a meaningful difference to our local communities.
This means wellbeing initiatives for community groups, particularly those representing people who are vulnerable or disadvantaged, fundraising for local charities, support for hospitals, schools and sports clubs and pro bono legal advice for those who need it.
We are a supportive, welcoming and inclusive business enabling staff at all levels to contribute to our proactive Corporate Social Responsibility programme including targeted plans to reduce our environmental impact.
Jenny Pierce, managing partner, says: “Wards is a close-knit firm. What binds us is a shared commitment to work for the lasting benefit of our communities, our clients, the environment in which we live and each other.
“Our history of fundraising and charitable giving is long established. Every year we choose a charity of the year – this year it’s Alive, dedicated to improving the lives of
older people and their carers – alongside a wide range of other initiatives.
“We are committed to being a good corporate citizen: giving back to our communities, reducing our carbon footprint and creating a workplac
e where our staff feel valued, supported and empowered to deliver the high standards of client care for which we are known and recognised.”
