Buckles Solicitors LLP has a long and established relationship with many businesses and people. We believe we have a social responsibility to help the community in which we work and live in.
Pro-Bono
Partner Nigel Moore helped found the local Pro-Help Group (part of Business in the Community) and has been Chairman since its inception and for the past three years. The aim of the group is to support voluntary organisations with free professional advice and guidance. The group is made up of professional firms from across the Peterborough area that are on hand to provide professional services to local community projects in the region free of charge.
Charities
The firm has set up a charity committee to administer its charitable giving through its Charities Aid Foundation account. The firm supports a broad range of charities, getting involved in national fundraising days but also supporting smaller local charities with regular donations. A number of staff sit on the local fundraising committees for:
Clubs and Societies
It is important for local businesses to be able to exchange ideas and interact in order to embrace a solid infrastructure within the community. Buckles is involved with different organisations and groups throughout the area and attend many local events including:
Events
One area Buckles is very proud of is the interaction staff members have not only with each other but also within the wider community. Buckles holds many internal fundraising events throughout the year and also enters teams into local events such as the annual Dragon Boat race held on the Embankment.
Supporting Groups
As a local business we are often approached by groups seeking sponsorship or support in their development within the community. Buckles promotes and supports local community groups and recently we:
- sponsors and provides the Whittlesey Junior Football Club U13 Girls kit
- sponsors the Deepings RUFC Juniors kit
- sponsors the Young Business Person award at the Sir Harry Smith Community College, Whittlesey.
