Bennett Griffin Awarded for Contribution to the Community!!

Posted by the Management team on 13th October 2011

We are absolutely thrilled to have been awarded an Adur & Worthing Business Award for our contribution to the local community.

Whilst our main role is to provide expert legal advice to individuals and businesses, we believe that our business plays another important role in our local community.  We are committed to supporting the communities in which we work and live, and we would like our presence in those communities to create a positive and lasting effect.

As a firm, we support many local and national initiatives that promote equal access to justice and legal services for all members of our local community.  These include the Citizens Advice Bureau in Worthing, the Lawyers For Your Business scheme, and many charitable Will-writing efforts.  In fact, this week we are participating in the St Barnabas free Will week!

Our efforts for the community are not limited to the provision of legal services.  We also help to raise money for local charities, such as the Build a Dream campaign for St Barnabas, and national charities, such as our Bennett Griffin Bowling Bonanza for Children in Need.  We get involved in local events, such as the Ferring Village Fair and the Worthing High School Careers Fair.  We also sponsor local events for the community, such as the Full of Life Festival.

We are very proud of the effort that our staff members put into our various community and charity projects, and this Award is a great recognition of their contribution.

In addition to the initiatives mentioned above, many of our staff members participate in their own charity, community and sporting events, with the support of their colleagues.  Examples of these events include charity volleyball and rounders tournaments, the Race for Life, the Dragon Boat Race, and the London and Brighton Marathons, among many others.  Click here for more information.

We have developed a specific strategy for our community work, and we plan to maintain, and hopefully increase, our current level of commitment over time.  We hope that this Award will motivate our staff to become more involved, and increase the public’s awareness of our efforts so we can gain more support in the future.
