We were very pleased to welcome our two new #charity partners, Africa's Gift and Bridging the Gap, to our office this week to kick off our two-year partnership. Africa’s Gift is tackling, amongst other things, unsafe cooking practices across parts of Africa, where millions still rely on open fires, linked to serious health risks and hundreds of thousands of deaths annually. Their heat-retention cook bags reduce fuel use, cut emissions, and protect families from harmful smoke. As you can see we all enjoyed a really tasty vegetarian lunch cooked in the bag. Bridging the Gap Mentoring, supported by our colleague Greg Foxsmith, provides volunteer mentors to people who may be at risk of falling through the cracks. Through mentoring sessions, they help individuals rebuild confidence, set goals, and move towards a more positive future. Hearing real stories from a mentee turned mentor to long-term success cases was a powerful reminder that change starts with connection. We are looking forward to seeing how our support can make a difference to these two charities over our two year partnership. Together we hope to build resilient, meaningful partnerships that will allow the charities to undertake their core work.

The King's Speech today set out the legislative agenda for the next 12 months, with a package of over 35 bills covering a range of issues from judicial reform to human rights. Among much else, it included bills to limit trials by jury, introduce digital ID, end the leasehold system in England and Wales and make it harder for migrants to gain settled status in the UK, Watching were our Public Law, Criminal Litigation and Immigration experts Emily Carter, Kirsty Cook, Louise Hodges, Katie Newbury and Oliver Oldman, who offer their thoughts on what some of these proposals may mean. You can read their reflections here. https://lnkd.in/esxtG82t
