This year, Aconveyancing is working with The Forward Trust as their official charity partner - because everybody knows somebody struggling with addiction.

The Forward Trust helps people break free from the vicious cycles of addiction, crime and associated mental health difficulties. They deliver services within communities, in prisons and provide support at their renowned residential and regional addiction treatment settings of Clouds House in Wiltshire, The Bridges in Hull and The Brink in Liverpool.

They also work tirelessly to shake the stigma surrounding addiction and promote the services available to those who may need support.

Aconveyancing’s founder and director, Natalie Moore says; “It’s widely known that there is a strong association between the legal profession and addiction issues. It’s a challenge to avoid alcohol in the job we do – whether that be work nights out, networking and events. The Forward Trust claim that ‘everybody knows somebody’ and I believe that we can do more to raise awareness of addiction within our industry, work hard to stop the stigma surrounding addiction and amplify conversations around the support available to those who might need help. Watch this space for more to come from us this year.”
