Four areas of focus

Most of our worldwide community investment and pro bono legal advice contribution is focused on four themes:

• improving access to justice for individuals and acting for not-for-profit organisations pro bono – 30 per cent;
• reducing homelessness and tackling wider social exclusion – 20 per cent;
• promoting human rights – 17 per cent; and  
• raising the levels of achievement and aspirations of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, and improving their skills – 20 per cent.

Each office, together with its community partners, interprets these themes in a way that is appropriate to its local community.
