Social Impact
We’re responsible in the way we look after our clients, responsible in the way we look after our team and responsible in the way we conduct ourselves, as a firm and as individuals.
And we also understand our role in our local community, the industries in which we work and in society as a whole. By behaving responsibly, respectfully and with integrity, we hope that we can have a positive impact on those we work with and on the wider population.
Our Charity of the Year
For 2026/27 our Charity of the Year is Ronald McDonald House Charities, a national charity providing housing, support, and resources to families with seriously ill children so they can stay close to their child during medical treatment, as well as Family Rooms inside hospitals where caregivers can rest and recharge. It also runs initiatives such as mobile medical clinics and community health programmes to improve access to care for underserved populations.
Throughout the year we will be sharing our fundraising progress. If you would like to support our fundraising efforts, please click the Just Giving link here.
Lee & Thompson x Creative Access
2023 was the firm’s 40th anniversary and to mark the occasion we wanted to collaborate with an organisation doing important work in the creative industries. Creative Access, is an inspiring diversity and inclusion social enterprise that focuses on helping people from underrepresented communities enter and progress in the creative industries. Together, Lee & Thompson and Creative Access launched the 3-year Thrive programme focussing on addressing the barriers to progression often faced by mid to senior level individuals from under-represented groups.
What does the Lee & Thompson x Creative Access collaboration do?
Lee & Thompson funds 10 places per year on the Creative Access Career Development Thrive Programme. We take a hands-on role supporting Creative Access with the development of the programme, hosting training and networking, providing mentoring to participants and delivering legal fundamentals training.
We are fully invested in Creative Access’ mission to support those from under-represented backgrounds, work which is absolutely critical to the future success of the creative economy. Click here to find out more.
