Pro Bono Week will celebrate its 20th anniversary this November, with those across the legal profession marking the event by reflecting on both the past and future of pro bono work.

From 1 to 5 November, those celebrating Pro Bono Week will be encouraged to organise events, communications and publications focusing on three key topics: celebrating pro bono and those who undertake this vital work; exploring different ways legal professionals can help; and sharing best practice for effective pro bono service.

Chair of the national organising committee, Toby Brown, said: ‘Against the challenges of the pandemic over the last year, the legal profession across all nations of the UK has continued to provide free legal assistance to people in real need.

‘In announcing the milestone 20th anniversary of Pro Bono Week to take place this November, we hope that many organisations will plan to use this opportunity to focus on, and debate, the contribution that lawyers make when helping pro bono.’
