Making a Difference: Amicus law's Commitment to CSR
CHARITY OF THE YEAR 2025/2026
Mind in Somerset, Dorset Mind and Devon Mind
At Amicus Law, supporting our communities and the wellbeing of those around us is at the heart of what we do. Each year, we invite our team to nominate and vote for a charity that matters to them — and we’re proud to announce that Mind has been chosen as our Charity of the Year for 2025/2026.
Mind provides vital mental health support across the UK, and this year we’ll be working closely with three local branches: Mind in Somerset, Dorset Mind, and Devon Mind. Through this partnership, we’ll be raising awareness, fundraising, and supporting initiatives that promote better mental health and wellbeing — both within our firm and across the communities we serve.
We look forward to a meaningful year of collaboration, and to making a real difference together.

tHE IMPORTANCE OF SUPPORTING mind

At Amicus Law, our commitment to supporting both our people and our communities goes beyond the legal work we do. That’s why I’m incredibly proud that our team has chosen Mind as our Charity of the Year for 2025/2026.
Mental health affects every one of us — whether directly or through someone we care about. It influences how we think, feel, work, and connect with others. And yet, for many, accessing the right support can still be difficult. That’s where organisations like Mind make a real difference.
Mind provides essential mental health services, advice, and advocacy, and we’re pleased to be working with their local branches in Somerset, Dorset and Devon. These teams are delivering frontline support in our own communities — helping individuals manage mental health challenges, stay connected, and feel heard.
As a firm, we recognise the role we can play not only in raising funds, but also in raising awareness. By supporting Mind, we aim to open up conversations, reduce stigma, and ensure that mental health remains a priority — both in the workplace and beyond.
We look forward to working closely with Mind over the coming year and hope that our efforts, large and small, will help support the vital work they do every day.
