Corporate social responsibility
Our mission
At Cloth Fair Chambers we are committed to supporting causes that foster the education and advancement of young people, especially those who aspire to be criminal barristers. Providing both financial and practical support, we take our social responsibilities seriously and pay particular attention to raising aspirations and providing opportunities for young people from less-advantaged backgrounds. This mission is necessarily linked to the critical need for diversity and inclusion, and breaking down barriers in the profession.
Our members regularly provide mentoring and advocacy training to aspiring lawyers. Furthermore, we are proud to sponsor specific causes, examples of which are here:

Pro Bono and access to justice
Our members regularly devote their time to pro bono matters. These cases can involve working as part of a team in collaboration with a client firm on a large complex matter, or volunteering for individual lay clients through Advocate, the charity that finds free legal help for those in need. Advocate, a beneficiary of financial support from Cloth Fair, also provides paid work experience to law student caseworkers ensuring access to opportunities and experience for all.
