Law Business Research fully funds and supports the Swawou School for Girls, which is based in Kenema, Sierra Leone. The school was set up in 2009 by former LBR director Callum Campbell, with Ahmed Jaward and Kirsty Wood.
The school currently offers 120 girls from the local community a valuable education, as well as a free hot lunch every day and grants for learning materials. The school is designed to be a safe, positive environment for the girls, it has a zero-tolerance policy on corporal punishment. Students’ families, as well as members of the local community, are involved in decisions affecting the school.

They support the centres through the provision of grant funding, supporting infrastructure of the sector, and helping agencies reduce costs and save money via pro bono or discounted schemes.
LBR is pleased to support the fundraising activities of the London Legal Support Trust in particular via the Trust’s two main annual events, the London Legal Walk and the Great Legal Bake.
