Supporting wellbeing in the law

Women in the Law UK, a national professional development and support organisation, is raising funds for a performance coach, counsellor and mental health first aider training. 

Its crowdfunding campaign, which runs until 21 July, can be found here. Founder Sally Penni said: ‘While there is much more that firms and chambers can do to improve the environment in which both women and men work, it is also incumbent on all of us to look out for each other.’
