Community and CSR

background

t 

Over the years, we’ve supported a wide range of local and national charities and initiatives that are close to the hearts of our team. As a business built around people and relationships, we believe in making a positive impact not only within the legal sector, but across the wider communities and environments we operate within.

Through our Corporate Social Responsibility programme, and with support from our dedicated internal committee, we continue to review and evolve our approach to social, environmental, and ethical responsibility. From the way we operate internally to the partnerships we build externally, we remain committed to creating a business that is responsible, supportive, and conscious of its wider impact.

We’re proud to support organisations including St Catherine’s Hospice, Rosemere Cancer Foundation, Macmillan Cancer Support, and Ecologi, alongside a variety of local fundraising, wellbeing, and environmental initiatives throughout the year. Whether through fundraising, volunteering, community support, or sustainability-focused partnerships, we embrace the role our business can play in contributing positively to both local communities and the wider world.

As a proudly North West business, supporting people and places close to home remains an important part of who we are and the culture we continue to build at Clayton Legal.

I love feeling like I am making a difference –  not only to our Clayton family and the wellbeing of my colleagues, but also to businesses and organisations within our local community who need our support.

Being part of our CSR Committee is incredibly rewarding and the team here really get behind the many initiatives we have, whether that’s volunteering or raising much needed funds.

  • Supporting Our People

    It may be a cliché perhaps, but our people really are the beating heart of our business and our most important asset. That’s why we invest in various platforms and services that support their physical and mental health and wellbeing. With above-statutory holidays, birthdays off, hybrid-working and bowls of fresh fruit weekly on us, we firmly believe in creating a positive, supportive work culture where our employees can truly thrive.

     

     

  • Supporting Our Local Community

    Whether it’s raising much-needed funds for the various charities and organisations we support, or trying, where we can, to buy small and buy local, efforts towards supporting the community in and around the North West is at the very core of our CSR programme. This year alone we are committed to raising funds for Let’s Grow Preston, a community based charity, that supports and develops community environmental projects and activites. as well as The Rosemere Cancer Foundation– a local charity who support world-class cancer treatment throughout Lancashire and South Cumbria.

  • Supporting Our Environment

    The environmental aspects of CSR are often complex however we are mindful of our carbon footprint and try, where we are able, to focus on sustainability in the day-to-day running of our business. From simple things such as investing in low energy lightbulbs, turning PCs off at the end of each day, to a stringent recycling policy, we actively seek to reduce energy consumption. We have recently announced our partnership with Ecologi, a certified B-Corp social enterprise, and platform for Climate Action; helping individuals, families, and businesses become Climate Positive.
