Community & Pro bono (CSR)
At Ridgemont, we are committed to being a responsible and active member of the community. We understand that our success is directly linked to the well-being of the communities where we operate.
We encourage our employees to get involved in local community initiatives and help make a positive difference to the lives of those around us. We believe CSR helps encourage personal and professional development, and we include our employees in decision making about CSR activities, such as:
- Supporting their chosen charities
- Encourage employees to volunteer for community activities
- Providing employees paid time off for volunteering
Corporate Volunteering
We contribute to our community through volunteering at a corporate level. We understand that volunteering is not only beneficial for the community, but it also enriches the lives of our employees. That’s why we support our team members to get involved in community initiatives on a regular basis.
For example, we took part in volunteering at a park located close to our London office, helping to prune, trim and maintain the beautiful gardens.
We’re proud to support local organisations and causes that align with our values and mission.
Tunbridge Wells Youth Football Club
We are beyond excited to be the main sponsor for the ‘Ridgemont Pavilion’, the brand-new clubhouse for Tunbridge Wells Youth Football Club. The Club was formed in 1995 and is a key part of the local Tunbridge Wells community. Players can join from as young as reception and teams are run right through to under 18s with a strong girl and ladies’ section.
Ridgemont’s Managing Director John Wallace grew up in Tunbridge Wells and is proud to support the club: “I am very grateful that Ridgemont has been given the opportunity to support the club. It’s really exciting to see the club progress and the amazing impact the new clubhouse, and those who work there, will have on the lives of the club’s players.
“Ridgemont believes in the importance of self-development and education, and this project is very much aligned with that. We look forward to enabling youths to develop their skills, improve wellbeing, have fun, and build team spirit.”
Pro bono
Ridgemont are fortunate to be in a position where we can give back to our community by providing legal services on a pro bono basis to charities and not-for-profit organisations.
Recent pro bono work includes advising a charity on dilapidations issues relating to their London head office and advising a Bristol-based charity on the eviction of licensees.
If you are a charity or not-for-profit organisation and have a legal issue you need support on, then email us at contactus@ridgemont.co and we will see if it is something we can help with.
