Award-winning pro bono centre

BPP Pro Bono Centre operates a wide variety of pro bono projects in the local community in Leeds, London and Manchester. We also store information about pro bono, public interest law and not-for-profit organisations, which provide academic and practical resources for law students and staff.

Our diverse range of projects provide our students with the opportunity to put their legal knowledge and skills into practice in a way that benefits members of the community who may not otherwise have access to legal services. It provides the perfect opportunity to demonstrate their legal professionalism and help others whilst building experience that will prepare them for their career in law.

The centre’s projects have won several awards including The Lawyer's award for pro bono activity of the year 2005, finalist status for the same award in 2004 and 2007, two high commendations in the Attorney General’s student and law school pro bono awards 2007 and the LawWorks pro bono award for best contribution by a partnership 2009.

It was announced recently that we have been shortlisted for The Lawyer's award for pro bono team of the year 2009. We've got our fingers crossed!
