Advocate launches new platform for Bar in the Community
16th March 2023
The Bar’s legal advice and representation charity Advocate has launched a new online platform for its volunteering scheme Bar in the Community.
Bar in the Community enables barristers and chambers’ professionals to support local and national charities, causes and communities through volunteering their professional skills and support. From becoming a trustee or committee member to advising on legislation and facilitating training and workshops, Bar in the Community offers legal professionals the opportunity to volunteer their time to causes mean the most to them.
Bar in the Community’s new website makes it simple for volunteers to find opportunities for every skill set on both a national and local level. To learn more and browse Bar in the Community’s current opportunities, please click here.
Richard Wheeler (pictured here), specialist personal injury and clinical negligence barrister at 3PB Barristers (3 Paper Buildings) is a Trustee of Advocate and said “the new online platform is an exciting new development which makes it easy for volunteers to find new opportunities”. To contact or instruct Richard, please contact his clerk Edward Holdstock via email at [email protected] or telephone at 01962 868884.
On 11 May 2023, 3PB will be hosting its inaugural Private Law Children & Financial Remedies Conference, with all proceeds of the event going to Advocate. To learn more about this event, please click here.
