Over 40 North West charities have taken part in a special event to boost collaboration and connection across the region’s third sector, hosted by North West Law firm Broudie Jackson Canter, part of the Jackson Lees Group.
The event on Thursday June 20th was held at the Everyman Theatre on Hope Street in Liverpool and welcomed charities including Claire House, Liverpool Bereavement Service, and City Hearts – providing a platform for new connections to form and enable more opportunities for collaborative working between third sector organisations.
Broudie Jackson Canter works closely with the region’s charity organisations and has a strong track record in supporting and enabling the third sector. The firm’s Housing, Immigration, Actions against the Police, and Inquests and Inquiries teams all work closely with North West charities, providing expert legal support and guidance, when needed.
In a bid to deepen links across the region’s charities, Broudie Jackson Canter invited charities which support people across a wide spectrum of needs including domestic abuse survivors, refugee and asylum seekers, homeless people, vulnerable children, and people who have been enslaved.
Esther Leach, Managing Director at Broudie Jackson Canter, said: “I have always been incredibly proud of the work we do here at BJC but seeing it in conjunction with the amazing work done by these charities is phenomenal. Thank you so much to everyone who attended and I look forward to seeing you all again soon.”
Rob Lapsley, from bereavement support charity Love Jasmine, said: “Speaking to other charity representatives, it was clear how much Broudie Jackson Canter do in our community and it was also clear how much the community work means to their staff members. It was such a positive evening listening to what is being done in our area and it was a pleasure to be there!”
Chris Topping, Director at Broudie Jackson Canter and President of Liverpool Law Society, said: “We are delighted to have had such a fantastic attendance from so many diverse charities. It is a great encouragement to work with so many really dedicated people towards our goal of making a positive difference. Hopefully everyone who attended went away inspired and with a renewed sense of purpose.”
