🤝🌍 Exciting new global partnership for Fieldfisher! We are very excited to announce Fieldfisher's new volunteering partnership with Social Shifters – an international charity dedicated to empowering the next generation of leaders to address global social and environmental challenges with innovative solutions. Through this partnership, we will support young leaders and founders, aged 18-30, across the globe as they develop projects that drive sustainable change in their communities. This marks our first global volunteering initiative, spearheaded by our societal impact team, Just Purpose, which oversees Fieldfisher's pro bono and community efforts. Leveraging our extensive European network, we ensure that the expertise provided to Social Shifters is both diverse and far-reaching. We firmly believe that young change-makers are vital to building a sustainable future, and we are committed to nurturing their groundbreaking efforts. About the partnership, Millie Hawes, Head of Just Purpose at Fieldfisher, said: "Young change-makers play a pivotal role in the future of our society and our planet. We are committed to dedicating not only financial resources but our time and expertise to bolstering their innovations as part of our drive to deliver sustainable impact and purpose. We hope our involvement will help accelerate youth-led sustainability projects that help tackle wider social and environmental issues." We are looking forward to collaborating with Social Shifters and our young innovators and fostering international co-operation to drive meaningful change.
