Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity partners with Manchester law firm

GM Mayor’s Charity supports vulnerable people within Greater Manchester

A commercial law firm with offices in Manchester, BLM, has been announced as the official legal partner of the Greater Manchester (GM) Mayor’s Charity.

The firm’s Commercial Advisory and Private Wealth group will be providing pro-bono commercial and employment law services to the charity.

Endorsed by Mayor Andy Burnham, the GM Mayor’s Charity focuses on supporting vulnerable people within Greater Manchester and tackling social issues impacting the region.

Taking over from the Mayor’s Homeless Fund in May 2019, the charity has raised more than £646,000 so far. It is currently supporting the Bed Every Night campaign, aiming to end rough sleeping across the region.


Siri Siriwardene, Head of BLM’s Commercial Advisory and Private Wealth team, commented: “We are delighted to partner with a charity dedicated to positively impacting the North West region. Their ethos and planned initiatives are having a truly transformational effect on our community.

“The cause is close to the hearts of our regionally based lawyers many of whom are actively involved in programmes tackling homelessness and rough sleeping. Combining their legal expertise and passion to help the GM Mayor’s Charity allows us to support the partnership dedicated to making a genuine difference to our home of Greater Manchester.”

Chair of the charity’s Trustee Board, Tim Heatley, commented: “The GM Mayor’s Charity is grateful to welcome Siri and the BLM team on board – they join a growing family of dedicated supporters. We trust their generous guidance and advice will drive us forward on our mission of tackling the social issues close to the hearts of the people of Greater Manchester, and inspiring truly positive change to our city region.”
