Why we give
It’s not just about legal services at EMG, with the company’s core values steeped in helping their local communities. One of the firm’s pledges is ‘to make a positive and significant contribution to the communities where their people live and work through investing in individuals and community initiatives’.
In 2019, EMG Solicitors set up their own EMG Charitable Fund with Point North, donating 5% of company profits in the form of charitable grants.
In 2023, the firm also became Corporate Members of Cumbria Community Foundation. Working with both grant making organisations, the firm helps support local communities through charitable giving across all regions in which they operate.
