Conveyancing Foundation Leads Successful Fundraising Effort During National Conveyancing Coffee Morning
During National Conveyancing Week, from the 11th to the 15th of March, organised by Bold Legal Group and Todays Conveyancer, the Conveyancing Foundation were proud to support this incredible initiative. By pledging to match all funds raised for charity by law firms through the Collaboration Coffee Mornings, the Foundation played a pivotal role in fostering community spirit within the conveyancing sector. Moreover, this initiative served as a platform to engage professionals in meaningful discussions about the indispensable role of conveyancers in the industry.
The concept of the coffee morning was simple yet effective: inviting professionals from across the property industry into conveyancing firms’ offices for a relaxed catch-up over coffee. The aim was to facilitate conversations about the contributions of conveyancers, how we can better collaborate with all stakeholders within the home moving process and strengthen relationships within the industry.
As part of the Conveyancing Foundation initiative, firms were provided with complimentary coffee morning packs containing engaging fundraising ideas and decorative items such as balloons and posters. Over 12 offices from various regions across the UK enthusiastically embraced the initiative and rallied support for their chosen charitable causes.
Congratulations to all the supporters of this initiative for their efforts towards improving collaboration in our industry and for raising funds for some incredible causes:
