Community involvement
One of our partners is the Birmingham Children's Trust.
Birmingham Children’s Trust exists to make a positive difference for children, young people and families in Birmingham. You can read all about their services and initiatives on their website.
Hamish Munro, who heads our marketing and business development team, is a trustee of Birmingham Childrens Trust's brand new charity, Bfriends.
Our newest partner is Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity
Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity believe there is always more they can do for sick children and young people and always strive to do more for their patients and families.
It is their mission to raise the vital funds needed to make a real difference to all who use their hospital’s services, offering them the best experience possible.
To read more information about their various upcoming projects, please visit the Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity Website.
Alongside the two charities our Birmingham based barristers and staff endeavour to support, some of our specialist teams and individual barristers spend their spare time volunteering and raising funds for other charities. This includes:
Child Brain Injury Trust (CBIT): Over the years, our team of specialist personal injury barristers and clerks have organised various online quizzes and fundraising events to raise money for CBIT. This was established in 1991 to research and provide information regarding the effects of ‘traumatic’ injury on a child’s developing brain.
Visit the CBIT website to find out more.
Pause, supported by a family barrister Suzanne Coleclough, works with women who have experienced, or are at risk of, repeat removals of children from their care.
Through an intense programme of support, it aims to break this cycle and give women the opportunity to reflect, tackle destructive patterns of behaviour, and to develop new skills and responses that can help them create a more positive future.
Pride
To mark Pride 2021, 3PB’s equality and diversity team hosted a virtual quiz in aid of MindOut LGBTQ+ mental health service. A total of over £800 was raised on the night, all of which will go to MindOut.
3PB Barristers also attend the Pride Parade in Birmingham, alongside colleagues from Birmingham Law Society and the Birmingham legal community.
