Castrén & Snellman’s Holiday Donation and Pro Bono Work Support Children and Youths
In addition to long-term pro bono partners of our firm, the charities include the Baltic Sea Action Group, MIELI Mental Health Finland, Save the Children, and Cancer Foundation Finland.
Like last year, our personnel chose what charities they wanted to make our annual holiday donation to.
Year-Round Work with Pro Bono Partners
We are committed to the principles of the UN Global Compact, such as the protection of human rights. Our pro bono work supports refugees and immigrants, at-risk children, youths, women, sexual minorities, disabled persons and other minorities that suffer from discrimination.
These principles have guided our choice of pro bono partners: the Finnish Refugee Advice Centre, the Uusimaa District of the Mannerheim League for Child Welfare, and the Red Cross Youth Shelter. We will continue our work with these partners in 2022.
Read more about our pro bono work with the Finnish Refugee Advice Centre in an interview with Executive Lawyer Hanna Laari.
We wish all of our clients and business partners happy holidays and a successful 2022!
