Community

Community Days

Meaningful engagement in our local communities is vitally important to the firm and its staff – old and young, from the senior partner down to our newest recruits.  Therefore – in addition to our usual fundraising activities and community support – all members of staff are given one Community Day a year where they can use their time to raise funds for, work for or engage with a charity or good cause of their choice – and still be paid.

Gaby Hardwicke Foundation

Each year, the partners of Gaby Hardwicke donate part of their annual profits to the Gaby Hardwicke Foundation, a registered charity whose trustees use the funds to support and assist worthy local causes. For more information click here.

Local Good Causes

For many years the firm has supported both local and national charities and other good causes, and encourages partners and staff to take part in fundraising activities. In recent years charities benefitting from the firm’s support have included:

For 2026, the firm’s Charity of the Year is the Seaview Project.
