Introducing the Charity of the Year Programme

In recognition of the clients we encounter and support, and as part of our ongoing commitment to contribute and give back to the wider community, we are proud to introduce the Slater and Gordon Charity of the Year Programme. This programme is designed to support and create positive relationships with a new charity each year, empowering our employees to make the most significant positive impact possible on the chosen charity’s cause, fundraising efforts, and beneficiaries.

What we’re looking for

If your charity focuses on health, disability, or provides support and services to individuals who have experienced an injury, illness, or have a disability, we want to hear from you. We understand the critical role that charities play in society, and we are committed to providing support in any way we can.

The winning charities awards

The charity selected as our Charity of the Year winner will, over a 12-month period, benefit from:

  • Monetary award: The winner will receive a significant five-figure donation to put towards their continued charitable efforts.
  • Dedicated Fundraising Support: Our employees will rally behind your cause, help with organising fundraising events and campaigns to boost your charity’s fundraising efforts.
  • Brand Exposure: Benefit from the visibility that comes with being aligned with Slater and Gordon, including features on our website, social media channels, and more.
  • Strategic Partnership: Work closely with our team to develop strategies that can help you achieve your goals and further your mission.

How we choose the finalists

  • Once our panel judges receive all the applications, they will carefully review all applications and select 5 finalists.
  • Once the final 5 have been chosen, it’s time to engage your community. The winner will be in the hands of a public vote. An online voting platform (coming soon) will allow people to vote for their favourite charity among the finalists.

How to Enter

To apply, simply fill out the application form. If your charity is selected as one of the 5 finalists, you will be contacted with further details on the public voting process.

Social Media and Community Engagement

We encourage all finalists to engage with their communities and supporters by sharing their involvement on social media. Use the hashtag #COTY24 to join the conversation and amplify your message across all platforms. The more you share, the greater your chances of securing votes!
