Grant and sponsorship funding
From 2023 to 2025, we awarded £840,000 in grants and sponsorships to not-for-profit organisations.
This funding supported a wide range of activities, including:
- supporting solicitors to manage their mental health
- developing public legal education in schools
- promoting and developing legal aid and pro bono services to increase access to justice
- opening more diverse routes into the profession
The funds for these awards came from the annual practising certificate and equated to around £2.50 per solicitor per year.
For project delivery between November 2023 and October 2025, we awarded a total of £840,000 across two years and 12 projects of varied scope.
Future funding
We are not currently open for new funding applications.
We are reviewing our approach to grant funding from 2026 onwards, ensuring that we maximise the potential benefit for the Law Society, our members and the funded organisations.
We will share more information during 2026 on our future approach to funding.
